@carsono311 I can't as no idea how lol not into social media that much but can link you a forum post with the said tweet?
@1Hairy-GorillaOkay, that really just reads that there have to be two options for cross-play (full on or full off) and that EA DICE are investigating a third option...
Which makes sense, when you consider the ongoing technical testing related to cross-play that they are doing. I would bet that console-only cross-play is exactly what EA DICE are working towards, if they don't already have it down...

Not sure where you getting that, the dev poster on resetera said making 3 options wouldn't make sense or words to that effect.
@ragnarok013 Like their Anti-cheat in BFV? No anti-cheat is a silver bullet ppl wont get caught ect why put that onto console users? If you get caught cheating on console you got a brick on PC cheat makers give codes if caught that's how confident they are, and back up and running in hours. There will never be level playing field vs PC and consoles, Walled garden vs open source. Out cry when UWP was the answer to alot of cheating, the kernel level anti-cheat got backlash ect.
You can't run 3rd party aps on console, you can on PC with little comeback if caught. All it is about is making 2 platforms suffer to get more ££. I don't see any other reason to force PC onto consoles when PC games die out faster due to cheating. I'm sure this hasn't improved in 10 years or so I stopped.

@1Hairy-Gorilla Microsoft is adding their Pluton security chip inside future Intel and AMD CPUs. Once that happens PC processors will be a lot more like console CPUs and only run signed software code with proper encryption keys.

Intel is also working on encrypting everything stored in RAM, so that will block further cheating.

Once those two things are added, maybe no more cheating on PC, but I remain sceptical given PC's large hardware selection and build configurations. Someone will probably find a bug on PC and still figure out how to cheat.- 4 years ago
There will be ways around it and more than likely can be disabled by the end user if wanted
