players with controllers would be in the console category,
No thanks, we don't want to play with Cheaters.
PC is PC and not Playstation. And PC Cheaters are way to much, more than Cronus Cheater.
Then there could be a main cross-play option based on platform and a secondary option based on game control type. For example, keyboard and mouse combo, or controller. Or even better, absolutely NO advantages for controllers, including recoil. Everyone will have equal conditions. No woke elements that give an advantage. If you have the skills to play with a controller against a player with a keyboard and mouse, then play that way. If you don't have the skills, then connect a keyboard and mouse to your console. Then we don't have to discuss whether it's possible to turn off cross-play.
As far as I know, DICE has ambitions to expand into esports. How will it address the platform categories of controllers with advantages versus keyboards + mouse without advantages?
