PlayStation America CEO Shawn Layden spoke at a Gamelab conference about the PlayStation 4's cross-play problem.

Sony has commented on the thorny issue of PlayStation cross-play, suggesting it's working on a solution.
At the Gamelab conference in Spain today, Shawn Layden, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America and chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, and PS4 system architect Mark Cerny delivered a presentation about the legacy of PlayStation. At the end of the talk, Eurogamer reporter Robert Purchese put the cross-play issue to Layden. Here's what he said:
"I thought it was fascinating you talking about PlayStation 3 flying too close to the sun - your Icarus moment you called it, and then PlayStation 4 coming back to be more back to basics, to be more about the players. But there seems to be an issue at the moment, that Sony isn't listening to its players - or doesn't seem to be - and that's cross-play, Fortnite particularly. And I wondered if there were any plans to open it up? It seems to be Sony's not listening."

Sony’s self-destructive unwillingness to allow PS4 cross-play is getting silly.

Red Candle Games made minor waves with last year's release of Detention, a set in 1960s Taiwan. Now, the studio is sticking with Taiwan but jumping ahead a couple decades for its new game, Devotion.
A short teaser shows distorted '80s game show imagery, blazing out of a TV in an otherwise empty apartment. Red Candle has promised that players will explore the apartment's many haunted nooks and crannies and solve puzzles to progress the game. 
Devotion doesn't have a release window or supported platforms announced yet, but the previous title by the studio came out on Switch, PS4, and PC.

SQXO Writes: Its been a long wait for open world racer with the quality of the Forza Horizon series on PS4 and sadly, after playing the Crew 2, the wait continues.

, but never has the issue seemed as petty - and yet also as big - as it has this week.
I'm talking about if trying to log in using an account which has ever played Fortnite on PS4. To reiterate: this isn't even cross-play, this is simply logging in.
Even if you've only played Fortnite once on PS4, and play the majority of your Fortnite on PC or mobile (these platforms are compatible), you will still be blocked from using your account on Switch. Your only option is to create a new account to play.

Uncharted 4 and Yakuza 0 both got price drops this week along with a number of other gaming deals ranging from PCs to Funko Pops.
