MS allowing play with "other console and PC networks" (Gaming)

Check it. Microsoft is claiming that they are now open to the idea of cross-platform play. Obviously, no real impact until Sony decides the same, but still... maybe not a total pipe dream anymore?

Here's the original MS article. Rocket League's apparently allowing play between XBone and Windows right now (not unheard of, but the article makes note of it), and the way the article's worded, it almost sounds like they might be willing to allow PS4 players on that very game, if Sony wants to do so? It's a little ambiguous what they mean there, but I found the idea interesting considering we had a very recent thread about that game and the PS4/XBone gulf.

Yeah, I would love for them to get all this legal BS out of the way so anyone can play on the platform they prefer and be able to play with anyone. If Microsoft is serious about this that would be a great big step for gamers.
