More than 1 or 2 PvP playlists will hurt games like 2042. They don’t have the population as a PvP only game to support a wide variety of modes. Matchmaking takes forever. Now take away cross-play and you have even less of a population to work with to matchmake. Wait forever, no matches found — functionally broken.
The era of tacked on multiplayer is dead and buried. Ya know… these games actually need continued maintenance and content to keep going. Mp games need large player pools to even have functional games.
Anything less than 100k players a day is a DEAD GAME.
Crossplay only sucks in PvP against pc players. The cheaters, the pin point accuracy and turning speeds of Mk&b are a no-go. Not crazy about input method based matchmaking since controller on pc still doesn’t rule out third world country pc cheater scum.
Hell, cross-play and cross-save (cloud saves) should be industry standard for online games.
