EA/Dice have the statistics to show just how much of a disadvantage forced crossplay is for console players, but of course they will not reveal it. For the same reason they will not explain WHY they implemented cross play default for the first time in BF history.
- ATFGunr2 years agoLegend@Foffe75 The why is easy, it’s money. It’s always money. Crossplay makes for less overall servers, no need for persistent servers, etc. All games (*ok not all but most) are going crossplay. It’s less infrastructure, two (old gen consoles need their own) instead of four or more teams. Server side changes are probably easier to implement, so again cheaper.

Not just console players, they’ll throw all players under the bus in their desire for greater profits. We’re all gamers here, we use different equipment but all play for the love of the game. There are questions we all need to demand answers to; why no M&K for consoles? Why is network compensation so bad? Why is the netcode still garbage? I know consoles are the leader for sales, so it makes financial sense to take care of console players and keep them happy. After 2 years reading the forums it’s clear that wasn’t achieved. Although a smaller segment than what we used to be, PC is still a factor and we aren’t happy either. BF 7, if it happens, has its work cut out for it. I don’t expect them to do much more to 2042, but the devs and more importantly the management of both Dice and EA need to see what we demand in our battlefield games or 2042 may be the last. Then we’re stuck with CoD and nobody wants that!
