robturpin 0 Posted October 1, 2022 Several friends and I will not purchase nor support DayZ simply because they refuse to implement cross-platform gameplay. We all have various systems for gaming, and we absolutely will not start buying all of the various consoles and the games for each one. While it's true that "there is a noticeable imbalance between platforms because of controls (and inventory management <- not sure about this)", they absolutely can and SHOULD add cross-play code. We're not alone here, search for "DayZ cross-play/cross-platform" and you can clearly see that many want it! The only way to urge developers to do what we want, is to not support them until they do. The only way that this works is for most of us to stick together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DefectiveWater 536 Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Ok? You don't need to buy it then. I honestly don't want crossplay. Console limitations don't belong on PC (example: PS requires that player names are visible whenever they use voice chat, that's dumb).

None! UNLESS and UNTIL enough people stop buying them to force them into coming back to reality. Don't flame me or get me wrong, these are just games - I'm fine with or without them.

People these days only look to what it means for them, F the rest apparently. Exactly, see I can't get the hang of and therefor can't be competitive at all using a console controller. While my grandson on the other hand greatly prefers his Xbox and controller. And then there are others who really prefer one console vs another - what about them? So then why should any of us suffer or not be able to enjoy these games because of the feelings or preferences of others? Consider the tailgates for Ford and Chevy trucks. Each has their own exclusive features that the other can't use due to patent restrictions, and although I'd really enjoy a tailgate with ALL of these cool features I'm forced to buy a brand of truck that I do NOT like or else go without. I agree that there needs to be royalties paid for cross-use, but If I'm willing to pay the extra then I don't see why I shouldn't be able to! Do you think that I should perhaps buy both trucks or simply stop whining? That kind of apathy is truly what has created the problems in America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
