Gameplay Feedback / Re: PS4/PC cross-platform friends
on: October 08, 2017, 03:16:50 AMTo support @Masquerade's argument a little further:
EPIC Games does have it's own account service and -is- making use of that in games as Paragon and Fortnite to let people cross-buy and play with friends independent of their platform (namely PC and PS4).
Meaning: I bought Fortnite and I can (and -do-) use that copy on both systems.
I also have friends on the EPIC platform that I was teaming up with on PS4 and PC with ease.
My point is:
It is possible and studios are doing it but it also is a service that takes a long term commitment and maintenance that many smaller studios can't and / or shouldn't spend their resources on.
MercurySteam may or may not have their reasons to not having set up such service and it's important to keep in mind that we're just speculating for as long as there's no official statement posted, targeting this topic.
Thank you for supporting my argument, and I can also see why it might be hard for them to do it. I just wish they'd mention these things BEFORE moving beyond a beta release. I'm not saying implement - just mention their stance on the topic.
