Sony won't allow Minecraft crossplay with other platforms because they want to keep kids safe

Coming from Sony's global head of sales and marketing, Jim Ryan...

"We've got to be mindful of our responsibility to our install base. Minecraft - the demographic playing that, you know as well as I do, it's all ages but it's also very young. We have a contract with the people who go online with us, that we look after them and they are within the PlayStation curated universe. Exposing what in many cases are children to external influences we have no ability to manage or look after, it's something we have to think about very carefully."

I mean...come on. We all know that's a bogus answer. It becomes even more bogus when you see them treating Rocket League the same way.
