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...

@Giftwilliam117 In what bubble are you living in my friend ? Consoles are just as full with cheaters as pc if not significantly more since it’s much cheaper safer and easier to cheat there

I will just leave one more word here:
Cronus

@matzesingt Since he hasn't replied, let me answer this question on his behalf. I fully agree with @Giftwilliam117's viewpoint. While I acknowledge the existence of Cronus, it is evident that Cronus is not as absurd as it may seem. You should indeed take the time to understand how outrageous cheating on PC can be, including but not limited to aimbots, wallhacks, health locks, and armor absorption, which are functionalities that Cronus cannot achieve at all. Therefore, the capabilities of Cronus are far less than those various cheats available on PC. In simple terms, cheating does exist on console platforms, which cannot be denied, but the negative impact it has on regular players is significantly lighter compared to what those PC cheats can accomplish. No platform is entirely pure, but consoles indeed maintain a higher level of integrity.

    @M4ssacres I agree that cheating on pc can archive much more, but we also need to be real here, I played like 2500 hours on apex and I haven’t once seen a hacker with rage settings. Like seriously not a single time.people that do that expect to get banned and don’t really care.

    Ofcourse I ran into a solid amount of people that I found very sus but it was never an obvious and blatant case. Maybe it’s just me, I played cs for very well over 20 years and I’ve seen a lot even on highest rank in go.

    For me cheating is cheating how extreme it is, isn’t really relevant for me. I would also argue that someone using mnk with Cronus has a significant advantage over other controllerplayers. I probably ran into more than thousands of Cronus users on pc and console alike. Theese mods are a serious issue in apex.

    When it comes to serious cheating on ps etc I am sure it’s possible. Once you crack that thing you can install whatever the f you want. But I never looked into it, and considering that consoleplayers are usually more on the casual side the number will be very low of people going that way.

    @matzesingt I have definitely seen the rage settings in Apex.  They were s0-s1 era.  Agreed the closest you get nowadays is sus PC players.  I have been playing this game since s0 and have over 3k hours on PC. 

    Also remember that those software cheats available to PC are much easier to detect and circumvent.  I know COD tried once, but has Respawn ever detected and removed a player due to a controller mod (cronus or otherwise)?  So far, there are no negative consequences to using the hardware cheat.  This just means these options grow over time, and so does the population using them.
