Yasumi Matsuno's Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/19/vagrant-story-creator-matsuno-working-on-digital-game-unsung-sto/) features cross-platform online play, and that may affect which platforms it comes to. The tactics game from the Vagrant Story director is only confirmed for iOS and Android curently, but developer Playdek is definitely looking at other platforms, and their policies towards cross-platform play.
We asked Joel Goodman, CEO of tabletop studio Playdek, whether or not that could close off the game from certain platforms.
"It potentially could and it potentially couldn't," Goodman said. "We're not speaking [about] any secrets here, we know for some platforms that will be more feasible to do than on others. At that point, then, we'll have to look at it and say, well, what's the more important part here? Is it that we end up with a platform that has a pragmatic community, and we don't want to do that, or that it's well worth it because it's still a gaming community that we want to address and make sure that they get this product as well."
Asked if it was fair to say it sounded like he was talking about previous-gen and current-gen consoles, Goodman replied, "That would be fair." Well, then.
