Sometimes those protocols don't play nice with each other, and if they don't, the potential for back door intrusion or accessing data that is being transferred between them being intercepted is increased.Ĭross play on PC being available doesn't automatically mean that it would be be OK between different consoles though, because on PC/console the API's used are provided by the console maker, thus they maintain control except on the user level, which is locked away from the network level.
Policies are a set of protocols that help prevent this, and if I had to guess, I'd say that is what the problem is, because the API's involved in handling access through PSN or XBL are quite extensive. Although that will have something to do with it within the protocols themselves.īut when you're dealing with different networks, particularly one's you don't control, there are other protocols that are put in place to prevent things that can be used to access the network through back doors. There are fairly easy measures to prevent that across different networks. It's probably not about hacking accounts. The quotes here pretty much confirm that.if you know what he's actually saying. What I said way back when to fix this is that all the console makers have to come together to make an API that works and is agreeable between all of them. He pretty much said that the reason this can't happen is that P2P isn't possible between three platforms. They both have to agree on the policy, and they don't. You didn't even understand what the dev said in the first place, because he was referring to both companies. Of course you don't, because you just want to hate Sony. You now have a quote on exactly what the hold up is. I really don't think you can fathom just how many protocols are in place on the servers these companies use.

A security policy is purely a software term in IT speak. Security policies are wide reaching, and all encompassing, but a security policy has nothing to do with a companies policy for or against if it will want to allow such 3rd party access. Since you like to take vague statements of developers to make a case against Sony, can you also take this very direct statement of it being a security policy as being the issue keeping it from happening?Ī security policy in IT is a wide ranging term, and isn't only about keeping one's servers secure from hackers or users from another system, it's about making sure that all the protocols used within the systems play nice with each other. Now, we have a developer who is outright stating it's a security policy issue. I said this to you and was the more likely reason to hold something like this up than Sony just not wanting it back when MS was acting like they were all open to it, and you went on this rampage against Sony and how evil they are for not being consumer friendly.
