Making console players and PC players cross-play by default would be foolish

Recently, while browsing news, I came across a "rumor" that Respawn will be upgrading the engine for APEX Legends by the end of the year and will merge next-gen console players and PC players into th...

@hayhor I'm on PC, and I agree with you. I have been put in console lobbies (I'm a KB/M players 100%) every day at least 50% of the time, often the only PC player there. It's terrible for everyone involved. I hate it because the console players one-clip me left and right, and my teammates hate it because I can't, lol. They AFK almost as soon as they see I'm on PC.
It's hard enough playing on PC against people using cheats, anti-recoil and neo-strafing steam configs without having to worry about legitimate console players who are just using what they game gives them.
I had a sinking feeling that maybe this lobby thing wasn't a bug. Maybe Respawn was testing it out (I'm in SA region but connected to Virginia) to see how the matches turned out.

Buddy, I completely understand you. In any case, it's best to let PC players and console players each have their own separate experiences - just like it is now. That's what's right and reasonable. I hope they listen to the voices of the community.

    They're already in console lobbies. I went to Mixtape because BR mode was unplayable due to hot-drop griefers. And now Mixtape is unplayable due to PC kids in the lobby. This game will likely die before Christmas at this rate. 🤡

      @CCbathwater Bro, this issue actually occurred half a month ago. At that time, I had already reported the bug on this forum, and community moderators acknowledged being aware of it. It's disheartening to see that it is still happening now. Regardless of whether they have fixed this problem, I believe they should at least provide a notification about the situation to keep the community informed.

        @M4ssacres I've been having this issue for like 2 months though. Just full on PC. 11 PC kids and me in Gun Run. 🤡
        My friend apparently doesn't get as many PC's as she said: "I don't know why you get so many, I don't seem to run into as many as you do." To which I replied: "Well, maybe my MMR is just so good it puts me in PC hacker lobbies." 😏

        The only fun is ripping on them. Had this Wraith who claimed it was her first game 😏 We had a lengthy discussion about everything PC and console. She claimed she wasn't cheating. Told her she needed to upgrade her 386 cpu to an i486, maybe then she could run Apex and cheats at the same time. She claimed PC was better than console. I claimed it's only better if you wanna wall, aimbot, speedhack, infinite charge rifle, floating Gibby, force people to reload, etc.. Well yes, that's basically the only fun there is on the game atm.. I've just gone back to Star Trek now. 13 year old game and no crossplay. ☺️ Someone in my Armada used to play it on PC but has moved to console now, as they said: "I had to use a mod that let me avoid all the modders." 🤡
