So arrowhead are 100% telegraphing that this is Sony not them

Getting strong "our hands are tied" vibes from everything they say ๐Ÿ˜ž

Fun fact on Sony:

Warframe, regardless of what you think of Digital Extremes, had cross platform play pushed last year out, more recently cross platform save too. Both worked out of the gate when launched, they did their homework.

At its inception, each platform had its own little icon beside the player name to indicate what device they were on.

Sony took a look at the system and apparently freaked out that there was the potential of a PS player losing a PvP match to an Xbox or Switch player and demanded via legal threats that it be changed immediately.

MS didn't seem to care and I think Nintendo was just amazed a half decent looking game with as many mechanics as Warframe can run on the Switch.

So now, players can see who is on their platform, and a universal icon if they aren't.

Whoever plays Warframe for the PvP suffers from brain rot.

[-] kbin_space_program@kbin.run 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah thats the funny bit, no one uses its PvP modes.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Seems Sony people do

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 11 points 1 year ago

This is the case with every cross-platform game I've played on PS. PS logo for PS players, a generic icon for everybody else. Makes it really frustrating in crossplay games when I have to ask myself "Did I somehow get placed into a M&K lobby, or is this guy just a Xim cheater?"

Wow, that's petty

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm inclined to believe this, but it does seem a bit urban-legend-esque. Do you happen to have a source?

[-] kbin_space_program@kbin.run 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately it was in one of their live streams, and they do 2-4 hours a week of that. I'm not digging through several hours of video content for that.

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Totally fair. I wouldn't want to dig through that either.

I'll consider it "unconfirmed" for now, lol.

All suits are losers who bend the knee to money. Bigger corps are like a bigger money pot to their twisted brains. OFC they'd bend the knee to Sony, a world renound brand name.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, they had them tied willingly in the first place.
