PC Cross-play Debate, Should PC's Have The Ability To Choose Enabled or Not.

Let's have a debate about this. I think PC players should have the ability to choose for themselves if they want cross-play. If someone disables cross-play on PC, they should only connect to other...

I play solo a lot and most times I'm working on my website, I just spectate after my team gets eliminated. So I have a good general idea of the amount of console people in PC lobbies. It's quite common now for consoles to be in PC lobbies. Common being on average 6 (up to 10) teams out of 20. This is from central and eastern United States data centers in public games.

Also in my experience I've noticed far more console players in ranked lobbies than public games (Diamond up) with 9 or more on average.


I'm totally assuming by saying this, but I honestly think Respawn forced cross-play on PC players because they knew the majority of players would in fact disable the feature altogether. Now though, with cross-play being forced for this amount of time, I'm sure if PC players were given a choice, not everyone would disable it outright because they have used it and/ or enjoy using it.

@Popa2caps It was done deliberately, they turned it on by default so a lot of people won't even bother or are aware of the settings. Increased queue times obv so force it on everyone eventually to appease the console playerbase.

I see console players sometimes here and there(Singapore), like maybe 5 out of 100 games in Arena(my team/enemy team). Obv just going off my memory, have to do a proper survey otherwise. In BR, it's the same but obv I don't come in contact with all 19 teams.

    @BaldWraithSimp It always feels like there's a few console players in all my lobbies and lately they seem to dominate, I would definitely switch off crossplay given the choice.
