Hopefully, I've seen a couple posts about people wanting this too including me!
@LtHitlisThose games have controller only lobbies. How well that's working and whether or not they can keep it to Controller only players remains to be seen. If they can't keep mouse and keyboard players seperated from controller players, you'll see controller players leave the game in droves. Some might switch to a mouse and keyboard, but many like me won't. I'll just go back to single player games.
"The studio does note that it currently has “no plans” to support cross-play for ranked or tournament play, where an even playing field is more crucial" that right there tells you it's not an even playing field with it's mouse and keyboard vs controller. If it was an even playing field the tournaments would be cross platform.
You can call me names and make fun of my points all you want, but it just proves my arguments are solid because you have no legitimate rebuttal. If you had one, you would not sit there and just say it's comical.
If you want a good example of a nightmare of a game that's flooded with mouse and keyboard players.. Look at BFV, the game is basically dead in the water on xbox because of it.
Yeah Microsoft might not do anything about Mouse and Keybaords. Probably because it's nearly impossible for them to identify. That said, if developers put control schemes into console games that allow for mouse and keyboards to be a viable option they will run into problems. Especially if the Mouse and Keyboard players start to slaughter the controller players.
If mouse and keyboard is really not that big of a deal? and it gives you no advantage? Why do you want it so badly? So you can game with your PC friends? Go buy a PC... I guess if they really wanted to allow cross platform they could simply allow console players to join PC players, but not allow PC players to join console. You want the punishment be my guest.
