L1m3r replied to What is it with companies and thinking Crossplay is this big necessary thing? March 31, 2023 @ 11:16:33 am PDT
Let me correct that for you: Cross Play = More Players.
More Players = More Unit Sales
More Unit Sales = More Profit
To simplify the math, Cross Play = More Profit
That's it. That's the grand sum of it. We exist to provide others with our money.
Port to other Platform = Profit.
Crossplay is not required for that. Especially not for a game like VH. At least not from the start while it's still in early access.
And publishing the port on XBOX/GamePass (which requires crossplay) while the map generation algorithm is not "synced"? How did that fall through quality control (at the outsourced party of course...)???
And I've just learned how borked crossplay actually is.
