No crossplay is disappointing

[Squidapple]

I think the game is fun but the decision for "No plans" for crossplay is quite a stupid one. I prefer PC as my main platform but something tells me this game will have a stronger pulse on Playstation, again this wouldn't be a problem with crossplay, not uniting the player pool is a bonehead move from Bandai

Anime game developers usually just cash-in for the sake of it. They don't care about player features. All they care about is initial launch sales. It's sad.

Bandi hates crossplay for some reason

Yup.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but, isn't it possible that implementing crossplay might be a difficult process, especially when it comes to implementing it this late in development?
Since consoles are effectively running their own independent operating systems, the same game usually ends up being coded differently for each console it's on, so I'd imagine that adding in cross-console interactivity would likely add at least a few months of extra development time just to add it in.
Granted, a lot of my argument assumes that implementing crossplay is more complicated than just pressing a single button

Bandai isn’t known for cross-play compatbility, it’s the same for Xenoverse 2, Shinobi Striker and the recent Gundam games.

Possibly, I have no idea - I know Aliens Fireteam finally added it a year later after people screaming for it so all I know is it's possible.

The lag of crossplay already killed Shinobi Strikers so why is bandai doing this over and over again. This is not very clever. They could make so much more money when they hear of the feedback of the community and do things to keep their games alive.

Since when Shinobi Stirkers have crossplay ?

Shinobi Strikers do not have crossplay as far as I know And there are not many people who are playing this. Back in the day where it was new there was on steam maybe 300 people playing this. The peak I mentioned few years after that was 1000 or something like this.
