PlayStation Backs Down and Enables Cross Play... Sort Of

@OniZonda As for the name change, I think it'll be in the next big update (relatively speaking), but this PSX is when they said they wanted it done by during last year's event. It's understandable if they push it all the way until December, however there's only been a couple of major updates in Dec, from what I recall. I just looked up a history of updates and whole number revision happen between Sept and Oct with a handful of updates before the end of each year. This means it's possible for the name change to come with the next one but the PSX event will likely be timed with the last update of the year so that could be the one that enables the name change. I would expect maybe 2 updates between now and PSX in Dec which would give us 3 by year's end. On a random tangent: Technically the reason name changes weren't allowed in the past is because when you created your name, your unique ID for store purchases and trophies were tied directly to it (that's a general understanding of it anyway). During one of the updates in the 4.XX version of the PS4 firmware, they disassociated your unique ID from your name so it was theoretically possible to keep possession of your games and trophies through a name change, they just didn't make it an option (if the internet is to be believed). I'm guessing this was to build it up and provide a testing stage until it was ready so it could be unveiled and presented as a fully functioning feature without crashing their entire network. A misstep like that could ruin everything. For an early source of the rumors (and where I'm basing my speculations), https://www.neogaf.com/threads/ps4-sdk-updates-hint-at-possibly-allowing-psn-id-changes-in-the-futur…

@OniZondaFingers crosses mate, Fingers crossed!

@GrisellJumpTJD I made gamer tag this on as many things as I could

@teachna FINALLY, I CAN PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS. HALF OF THEM ARE ON PS4 AND IM ON XBOX.

@teachna I feel you bro, not trolling you one bit

@Penguin124 I mean they are telling you the news about cross play that Sony has been reluctant to allow for games that could use it as the ones listed in the video and it has some people ticked off that the said sorry no deal when it was brought up with Fortnite, Rocket League or Minecraft I mean are they biased for showing their dislike of Sony at the start saying no I wouldn’t say so since most of RT/The Know probably have a verity of consoles shoot most of them play PC heavy.

@ManlyTorchic I'm well aware of the topic and they are showing their bias because of exactly what I typed in my original comment. Did you even read it before replying?

@Penguin124 I’m not sure what you are going on about this is your only comment on this video and I don’t think they did this just because of your other comments you think they might of seen 🤔 but I’ll leave it to your space.

@ManlyTorchic Now youre not making any sense at all. You replied to my comment but seemed to completely ignore what you replied to. And when did I say anything about them making a video based on my comments???
