I really hate that cross-play is still so hit-or-miss these days. I feel like the only developers who put any effort into it are ones who focus on live service games, and I'd honestly like to see a push away from that model, in general.
that's why I just kinda hate getting games on consoles nowadays (excluding something like the steam deck since it's just a handheld PC). I always feel so locked in. sucks that there's some cool exclusives on consoles tho like the new spiderman on playstation
Yeah, and I feel like that's only going to get worse as time goes on as more and more big studios get bought up by console manufacturers. Seeing Bungie and Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard all getting bought up has me worried about exclusivity contracts fracturing what was fairly recently a thriving console market.
