Why is crossplay forced on Xbox series X?

To my mind if I can't switch off cross play, I won't play it. Who on a console could enjoy playing a game where you've got a baked in disadvantage against half your opponents.
For anyone who thinks the same (most id guess), the game is effectively completely broken at launch.
@FatherDediv played 4 games in every game 80%-90% were pc players and I'm not joking. I was under the impression we could disable this in game I am honestly considering a refund dont understand why games are forcing crossplay on people console vs console would do me cant stand the fact I'm forced to play with players on pc.
Unless I dreamt it, in the beta you could switch off cross play - in game without having to go out to xbox settings. And it worked without issue.
So they didn't add keyboard and mouse support on console due to balancing worries but then locked every Xbox player in with PC players...
I got my refund this morning!
- @MAX_TwelveX1 I'm just debating on getting one
So no M&K support but, you have to play with pc users yes or yes, actually 80% of players are pc players.
Well played EA, as usual.
Given the history of the game (eg the shockingly bad bf4 launch), I wasn't expecting things to be perfect. But to have something as basic and rudimentary as this to be completely broken from the get go is utterly disappointing.
I'd taken the day off work, really looking forward to it. Now I'm like a kid on Xmas morning who finds out someone forgot to get the batteries for their new toy 😞
Suppose I should go and do something productive with the day then. Was not my plan.
- @FatherDed You're 100% correct it worked in beta. As I only played xbox only on my series x. Every player had the xbox symbol.
- @xXHappy_PuppyXx And that's wot we want why don't they get it. Why would we want to be at a massive disadvantage in every way possible. Playing with pc players just isn't fun for most people.
Worst than that, there is barely aim-assist on consoles. Go play a round of Battlefield 4 or Battlefield Hardline and then come back and play Battlefield 2042. THERE IS NOT AIM ASSIST AT ALL ON CONSOLES ! So no m/k support, forced cross-play and no aim assist! Wtf DICE ???!!
- @FatherDed You didn't dream it.
