Not smart starting a war with the most sold home console since mid-90's. Are they sure they want to alienate 80-90 million PS players just as the PS5 is on the Horizon?? 🤔

Is this a new thing or just a re-re-replay of the last one?

Sony will allow CP when PS5 arrives, but they should make a tuff statment now, that they will not allow crossbuy and crossafe (crossprogression) on their platform. If you want to play on another platform, do so. Sony has no reason to support this behavior.

Bethesda don't be such Ungrateful bastar#$$ds :)

I have some harsh words for Bethesda's used games policies.

Bethesda really thinks that Skyrim is a good game LMAO..

Really Bethesda, since when did you become mouthpieces for ms. What a load of crap over a none issue lol.

Not a big fan of bethesda games anyways. Doesnt drop sony sales whatosever. Their own studios make them enough cash flow and other 3rd studios. if all third parties want cross play then maybe sony may swing the other way but Until then this aint shit

This site is fucked up with kids sucking up to sony.
Sony stand on Crossplay is wrong you need to open your eyes Sony fanboys.
This gen goes for Sony for doing a handful of right things but Crossplay isn't one of them.
Why would someone in the right mind hate Crossplay between consoles or PC, for once games that lose a huge portion of their multiplayer player base after 3 years or so from release could unite together in one lobby, I'm talking about classic games like RDR.

How much is Microsoft paying them lately to complain about this shit lately?

This is not a popular opinion, but I don't like their games. The only game I could get into was Skyrim and that got old fast for me. I could never get into anything related to Fallout.

It also doesn't help that every single one of their games are using a seriously old engine and that they're filled with glitches and bugs.

But but but... Sony helped invent crossplay (as if that’s doing anything for us at present time).

This whole resisting crossplay was like Apple resisting 3rd party APIs and producing “the walled garden”. Well now Sony is he walled garden. It’s also weird how fanboys have twisted it into not having an extra free ability to play with more people is a bad thing and we shouldn’t want it anyway... wtf??? I’ve wanted that since online gaming became a thing.

Great magic trick here.

*Bethesda used misdirection to divert attention from the F76 criticism to cross play bs*

Bethesda games are meant for PC. Problem solved

Is it ground hogs day???

What do u expect when Bethesda ceo, is also a big Microsoft shareholder.???

Yeah let’s male a big deal over a mobile card game. No one cares

do Bethesda need Playstation? yes. do Sony need Bethesda? no. so shut up, and pull your head from m$ ass.

Wow, Sony fanboys coming up with some crazy defenses here lol I guess anyone who cares criticize Sony is immediately irrelevant and anti-consumer... whatever guys. Bash Xbox when they do something but defend Sony when they do it thats the M.O right?

Sony is getting arrogant, but they can afford to be. It’s a business decision and Bethesda can either go with it or go with it and also complain about it

Oh, another article on relation Bethesda - Sony. An guess, what, nothing will happen.

I'm so tired of Bethesda... why don't they build their console and crossplay it with whatever they want.

Words for Bethesda. Stop being A-holes!

Wanna know how Microsoft handles crossplay. Here's an example of what Microsoft does. I own minecraft on switch. As an option ms let's you log into your live account to promote "crossplay". Seems great right? Well of you go to the store and buy DLC for minecraft, Microsoft displays an ever so helpful message that you should buy it under your ms account to save it because if you don't you could lose everything you bought if your file becomes corrupted, or gets erased from the switch. Seems like good advice right? Except what they don't tell you is, once you do that you can no longer access the content unless you log in under you ms account. Not a big deal right? Wrong, if I am not in a place where I can access the Internet, I can't log in. So I'm locked out of using it until I can. Also, you can't shared t between switch profiles which Nintendo allows, but in this case ms doesn't. Still not a big deal? Tell that to my kids on our 16 hour car ride from Texas to Florida. They don't agree. That is misleading advertisement to try and stick you with their service. Exactly what Sony is trying to avoid. If there was no caveat for MS I'm sure Sony would be on board. So here's the question. What is ms really pushing with crossplay? Having to pay more for something you already own because of restrictions with their service? Let's get an article about the exact breakdown of crossplay with Sony, then judge.

who needs crossplay when your company has the highest selling console on the market with the biggest user base , that's like telling nintendo to start releasing it's first party games on other platforms besides nintendos , why should sony have to share it's owners with those of it's competitions , crossplay in their mind is just taking away potential buyers of a new playstation 4

All I read is MS constant crying over something a majority of gamers don't give two shits about. Many are fine with playing with other gamers on same console.

Who wants crossplay.? Dislike if you don't want or don't care, like if you want. First time I will dislike my own comment

Bethesda has consistently released sub-par and sub-standards games on Sony consoles and have been pretty much supportive of Microsoft therefore I am not surprised at the comments made. The fact of the matter is should they choose to ignore a massive market like the one offered by S9ny they do it st their own profit peril and I don’t think the board of directors would go for it.
This issue of cross play is a non issue. Something that has been created by a minority’s of people and made into a big deal when the vast majority of PS4 owners could not care less about cross play. It has never been an issue in the past and It is not now.
A few disgruntled people ranting about it and creating a media frenzy does not mean this is something of a necessity of PS4 owners.
Nice to have? Yes, it not a necessity and not to a point to make such a fuss about it.

I suggest Bethesda start to focus on making decent games on par on all consoles, stop re-release hundred version of Skyrim a game that, whilst amazing at the time and I thoroughly enjoyed, belongs to the past console and keep their opinions to themselves.
If they really want to have a proper debate with Sony then they should have it off the social media and at meetings like any company would do.
This whining done in pu pic to get the sympathy beote frankly is puerile.

Bethesda has harsh words for Sony. Even going far enough to say that games like Elder Scrolls: Legends wont be on PlayStation unless Sony changes their ways on Cross-play and cross-progression. Now who do you think doing this will really hurt more ? Bethesda or Sony Yeah thats what I thought too Bethesda would be killing to golden goose if they with hold there game from Sony. They need Sony a whole hell of a lot more then Sony needs them.

The whole Sony crossplay thing is getting old if Sony wanted to or if Sony will do crossplay they would have done it by now or are heavily thinking about doing it when PS5 comes out

Sony knows it rules console gaming and they think themselves as exclusive in every aspect, sometimes is good to just go on with the people now and then...

Bitchthesda is really caring a lot about them after making them second class since ps3

Never notice that Bethesda is anti Sony, it’s ok if the don’t want my money they don’t have it

Damn, enough with this... they don't want this card game on PS4? Ok, bye bye card game that almost no one cares about.
I don't hate Bethesda and i like their games but this is getting ridiculous.

Why didn't Bethesda attacked Microsoft like this when they refused cross play last Gen? 🤔

In fact, they have never attacked Microsoft, not even when MS threatened to destroy the market with their online drm policies. 🤔

Bethesda is very anti Sony and too much pro Microsoft. This is not the first time they have attacked Sony while laying in bed with MS.

Ha! As if Bethesda would ignore the system with the largest userbase, and therefore the most potential revenue, over something so petty. They can make idle threats all they want, but they need to let their financial advisors go if that's what they advise.

And Sony cares, why? Sony doesn't need Bethesda and Sonys not gonna let Bethesda tell them how to do business. Sony is more likely to listen to Activision, ya know what, if Microsoft wants Bethesda, they can have them. Bethesdas a washed up husk caught in the wind. Sony doesn't care, and shouldn't. Sony loves single-player games just like their consumers, Microsoft wants all the online games, and for the longest time, Bethesda stuck to single-player games while Strategy RPGs ruled the PC market. Command and Conquer, Warcraft, Starcraft, Age of Empires, etc.
Sony, don't let em dictate how you do business, ya don't need em and they're not worth it anyway, let Microsoft win em over and have em and destroy them with "Microsoft knows everything and we're innovative." Microsoft can't keep them successful because Microsoft has no idea what they're doing, they just copy everyone else and are always behind.

Said the company that offer all their games for free in X1 + sales through the whole year on MS store. Btw, SE disagree with you because MS refusing FFXIV cross play since ever.

Bethesda, you people haven't even made a game considered top 10 this ten or even top 20 so sit down with the talk until you make a good product.

Yes i can see playstations success depends on elderscrolls when theres plenty of other games of different genres to play. Keep your elderscrolls games. Nows your chance to make it an exclusive for the rival console you are in cahoots with.

While i think Sony not doing crossplay is a bad thing, i think right now Bethesda is the last company to be criticising

Anti-70+ million users it sound like, were awfully quiet about MS being funny about cross play back in the X360 era, your corner is clear, cross play isn't important, better features need too be implemented before this crap is even considered, Bethesda, just shut up.

Bethesda seems to forget that PS4 supports cross-play to the relevant platforms, PC & mobile, so what's the problem? and, if you're really adamant, double-down and do not release ALL Bethesda games on PS4 until PlayStation relents...

i, now, regret adding to the heat of this "news..."

I find it strange. If Bethesda is not happy, then don't release on Sony console. Simply as that.
Why whining and still keep releasing on Sony console??? are they @#%#@????

Bethesda's lawsuit attempting to make Used Game Sales illegal is (potentially) far more damaging to the video game industry than Sony not doing crossplay could ever be.

Bethesda Better watch they are getting too cocky and lately their games are not good.

Here's one STRANGE Ass (Dank ass) theory: I bought a PS4 to enjoy new Ps4 games (woooooooooooooooouuuuuw o no he didn't just say that!!!)

I'm all for cross play but Bugthesda should make their games less buggy.

Oh please, sony better call this bluff. Bethesda has become such an underwhelming developer I really doubt a single ps4 owner would lose sleep if they bailed. Bethesda on the other hand would most definitely feel in if they cut 50 percent or more of their market out.

I'm done with this cesspool of a site. Get Sonys cocks our of all of your throats, they are a company and laugh at you're undying love for them. They wouldn't care if you all dropped of the face of the earth.

Pc gamer fyi, so leave MS outta this bc I know as you're reading this your face is flush and you're Twitter fingers are shaking. Game loyalty is for low lifes, sorrynotsorry.

I'm out this bitch, oh and I bet I get 200 dislikes before some cries and get my comment flagged. Cheers

Bethesda hmm wonder if us sony fans boycotting your games will push u to be bought by ms then let's see what happens
Due to stocks dropping

Looks to me like bethesda is trying to deflect the negative attention they are getting over fallout. Bethesda like to point fingers while their developed games ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS have tons of bugs. Game breaking bugs, then they want to charge for mods that also helped fix their faults

bye bye bethesda, see ya when you release something related to the evil within... maybe

I'm a little torn on this. While I agree cross play is a good thing for many games and Bethesda are right to back it, I do think they're riding the wave because Microsoft created it.

But whatever the reason for their support, I still think the blame lies with Sony here. They've put up a lot of resistance to good (and more importantly optional) ideas like EA access, mods, and now cross play and the reasons given make no sense. They can't give the real reason (financial) because it would taint their "for the players" image.

I think Sony have made the right business decision for them, but cross play will come and we'll just have to see if being last to the party has any impact.

bethesda can suck my big toe. all they do is whine about their buggy their games they did for sony. we all know B is MS's labdog.

Welcome to the next step in the industry of capitalism.
