See the image below? It’s apparently from a SCE spokesperson who’s apparently decided to apparently comment on apparent Cross Game Chat functionality. On Engadget. Apparently.
As hopefully our undertones suggest, we’re not particularly convinced this is the real deal – if it is, we’ll hold our hands up and say ‘fine’ but we’re not sure why a SCE spokesperson would choose to comment on a non-Sony blog.
You’ll see that his latest comment regards Cross Game Chat – that feature that was meant to appear with PlayStation+ but got removed at the last second. “As we are rebuilding the network,” says the comment, “we are taking into consideration in implementing features such as cross game chat and in-game video chat to name a few.”
“I cannot confirm any new features at this time but expect a massive update when the network is restored.”
You can read some of his other comments here and make your own mind up.
Apparently.

even though thousands of people have said they would like it more people arent bothered and clicked the dislike button
Juelz345
Yeah, as is the case with all the top ideas.
MadiesInMeBoot
Yeah that makes no sense to me! Even if you didn’t have a use for it, would you not rather to have the option of having it weather you used it or not. All those ideas are ace, so I can’t understand why they all have more negative votes than positive. I mean I don’t speak arabic but add for the people that do, ya know!
Matty
how have they been disliked more? it is +23k so that’s 23k votes liking it out of 32k votes surely?
Crazyfrog23
Matty is correct, the bottom number is the total number of votes while the top number is the total number of up votes, so you have to do the calculation yourself to find the number of negative votes but it is usually in the minority.
It’s a poorly designed layout that confuses so many people overall really.

i opt fake, since most sony spokes people say we cannot comment on rumor
Juelz345
It wasn’t commenting on a romour, it was responding to a comment about what Sony needs to do in light of the past week. I’m not saying it’s real, just that it would do Sony good to try and give people something to look forward to with all that’s going on.

Would love to get cross game chat, but I doubt that is top of Sony’s priories right now.

To quote the source himself:
“It would most safe to receive updates and information on the current outrage from official sources such as the official PlayStation Blogs, PlayStation Twitter accounts and direct emails from Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE).”
It would most safe be indeed.
