After spending a number of years hitting at the potential of cross-platform networking gaming, Microsoft has announced that the capability will be offered to Xbox One owners in the near future.

Apple, as you might expect, isn't exactly pleased with not only the recent motion, but also the wording and terminology used within that filing.

Paul Morris·March 10, 2016
