but I have to ask: from a business perspective, what does Sony have to gain? They are the ones in the catbird seat.
Free publicity on exclusives, maybe? The tradeoff for crossplay would be the increased value of exclusive content.
Imagine an Xbone player going up to Saladin during Iron Banner, and seeing the two pieces of Camelot armor grayed out saying "Requires Playstation Account", and the Jade Rabbit-wielding player to his right is decked out in the gear and the Theosyion Vibrissae gauntlets.
That's like sneaking PS4 marketing on the Xbox; a bit of a douchey move, but Sony's shown that they're not afraid to kick Xbox while they're down...
But whatevs, I'd be perfectly okay with Xbox having exclusive content too if it meant playing with my friends. Rocket League already has Xbox exclusive skins (Warthog and Gearsmobile). Wonder how those will be handled...
