That really sucks for console players because Battlefield 6 PC will be riddled with cheaters.
If Microsoft (a company almost worth $4 trillion) isn't able to stop cheaters (even with a kernel level anti-cheat), EA certainly can't.
The Battle Royale will be the worst hit area of the title on PC, because it will be a free 2 play mode (It also doesn't help that EA has a subscription based option, so people might use that for the base game).
EA wants crossplay enabled by default or they lose a massive free security force that will report the cheaters for free. Crossplay isn't about connectivity, it's about profits. What better ecosystem is there like consoles? Let them join PC lobbies to clean them up. Profit.
Understand, their kernel level anti-cheat isn't about raw ability, it's about marketing (security theater) ability. That's why it was marketed in the open, and even given a brand name.
Cool investors with all this talk about security, then reports come in with low cheating data, all made to look like their anti-cheat is doing something. Meanwhile it's just consoles doing most of the work.
Console players that plan on getting the game, disable crossplay the first time you play. If enough console players do it, it will force EA to make a console only crossplay. Don't ask for changes, demand it.
