I'm asking all playstation users to turn off crossplay.

There are a lot of cheats on the PC side. Even without cheats, many settings exist. For example, PC players set the graphics to the lowest settings. This allows them to see the environment more clear...

    As soon as crossplay was implemented it was the very first setting I would disable as it’s my strong belief console gaming and pc gaming are 2 completely different ecosystems that just don’t match. So from day 1 I’ve been on PS5 servers only.

    I started my Battlefield carreer with BF1942 on PC and from those days it already was pay to win. Whoever got the best hardware would win. Back then I just had my first job fresh out of college living on my own paying rent and driving my first own car, so I could not afford a high end pc and the peripherals. But then you already had players who had a laser mouse vs players with an old fashioned mouse operating with a roller ball, guess who could be more precise. 

    This hardware inequality lead me to switch to PlayStation to get a level playing field when BF3 came out. Meanwhile I was earning decent money I just didn’t want it to sink it all into my pc to stay up to date and competitive. Cheating on pc was also one of my concerns although it was not as rampant as nowadays.

    With console I got a closed ecosystem where everyone was using the same hardware free of cheats that would secure my gaming fun for years to come until a next gen would come out.

    Unfortunately the equality on consoles also went out of the door with the introduction of devices like Cronus or even pro controllers. Yet still I believe crossplay is and will be a failed experiment.

    And with that I also strongly believe PC players also should get the option to disable it.
