Cross-play is just another backdoor for modders and hackers to have access to Sony’s servers.It’s a security risk to Sony they have no control over it so they refused it. Minecraft is a child’s game which is why Sony addressed the parental side aspect of it. Besides,we have 30 million plus to play with,we don’t want or need it.

In reply to SalvagedXBot. Also, if Xbox Live was the reason behind Sony's decision against cross-play, surely Ryan would have clearly said it instead of using the lame excuse he used.

“At least the usage of Xbox Live makes sense for why Minecraft may have been turned down for cross platform play on PS4”

Mh, I don’t think that PS4 would use Xbox Live if it was on board with Minecraft’s cross-play, more likely they are using Xbox Live because Nintendo’s servers aren’t that big.
