EA Disappoints Again
Again EA decide to shaft players of its games with no crossplay and progression, when will they learn? I have no desire to play this game until they sort their lives out and stop shafting their play...

I really enjoyed playing Fortnite crossplay with my buddy (he's on XB, I'm on PC). It is totally the way to go. Again, with a filter in place to allow players to choose whether to go up against PC/mouse keyboarders...
I'd argue that players will struggle to make a stand in the way you describe: as consumers that kind of impact & groundswell - in the volume required to make an actual impact - it's extremely hard to achieve. And bear in mind Epic/Fortnite made it happen by volume of players & popularity... NOT by no-one playing it.

For the Record though @ThisIsTheJunta Epic had cross platform built in from the beginning. Remember when BR first launched in Fortnite PS4 players were able to play xbox players on "ACCIDENT" They later patched and fixed it so ps4 people could only play with ps4 and pc people. Then obviously later down the line they turned it back on so its a free for all.

Note the date in the article that was over 10 days Before the OFFICIAL release of Battle Royal as they allowed people to pile into the servers basically 2 weeks early for load testing.
I say all this because Sony has been the problem for years. Microsoft has Publicly stated numerous times they don't have an issue with cross platform play. It's sony that
always has some time of strange excuse like in this article

But yeah I agree with you having that filter option would be nice especially in FPS games.
- Yep noted @Neog2 - I suppose that for a (at-the-time) smaller publisher like Epic to 'accidentally' enable cross play is a way easier sell politically than it is for EA.
