    Default Cross-platform play gives PC players in Overwatch too much of an advantage

    Cross-platform play gives PC players in Overwatch too much of an advantage

    Blizzard confirmed that it would not offer cross-platform play because the nature of the game and cross-platform play gives PC gamers too much of an advantage.

    We can’t imagine very many gamers arguing for cross-platform play just so that they can have their ass handed to them on a silver platter.

    That's because console peasants cannot shoot accurately in a shooter.

    Cross-platform between consoles and PC has never really appealed to me. But I'm sure between PS4 and Xbox One there can be some cross-platform games. It's strange that it's never happened.

    Its not that strange if you consider the rivalry

    FPS are just so much easier with a mouse... The accuracy is just so much better than with a remote...

    It happened a couple of years ago with a title, but was for an exhibition match between two pro teams. The outcome was expected, and that was that.

    I'm pretty sure [MENTION=9789]DieGrootHammer[/MENTION] meant cross play between two different consoles, not between console and PC.
