Why no global crossplay at games?

That annoys me extremely. Would like to play with friends, but everyone has a different system… Xbox. PS4, PS5, PC… Why is that not possible in 2020? Where are the obstacles?

I think it's about that sometimes there are almost two different communities.

See overwatch. Those at the controller have an aim assist because it is harder to aim with Joycon, so they have an advantage or disadvantage (as you might expect) Sometimes different characters are met on the controller than on the PC, etc.

But of course if it's not about a shooter then it would basically be easy and it's not the technical side either.

Why don't the consoles have plug and play for any USB mouse / keyboard? That upsets me as well. I would buy a console right away if it wasn't for this controller. You can't play with that. No shooters, no real-time strategy, no menus to use. Why can't they give you a free choice?

The obstacles? You should buy a Playstation, an Xbox and a PC. So you can play everything together. That is the plan. A friend used to have a console and you gambled on it together. Today there are hardly any games that msn can play locally on one console. Everyone is supposed to have their own console and copy of the game.

I'll order an Xbox and a PS right away.

Isn't my idea that of the developer.

Do

I already understand ;-)

There are many games that offer crossplay.

Or they can clarify with their friends which console they will buy.

na

I can't answer that question.
But e.g. Among Us is crossplay

Do

Yes, but only poop games: -D I play Division, Borderlands and Ghost Recon Wildlands. It doesn't work with them.

de

Well

Then you have to coordinate

or you find new friends with the same console

Do

I'm serious now. Yes, you probably should. Really sort out the circle of friends.

de

Friends come and go, that's the way things are.

Do

Of course, consoles suck. There's no question about that.

Ro

You have real friends forever, everything else is acquaintance. Unfortunately, it is often confused.

de

Unfortunately, real friends don't stay forever.

I've seen that often enough.
