"PC Exclusive Extension"? Come on, this game is better than that.

You don't need to sucker us in with cheap gimmicks like this. You have an amazing game, you have no reason to lock content to certain players. Don't fall prey into thinking you need something like this- just produce high quality content and make the entire game available to everyone who purchases it, regardless of platform or time of purchase.

Can I have some context or just a source on that?
I'm not keeping the closest eye on the news anymore.

If you boot up the game and click the DLC button on the main menu, it'll show up.

Ah, I see. That quest was added in to celebrate the console version releases (and to add a little something while we wait for the post-game DLC). Every system got its own unique quest with its own unique enemies and boss, Although the quests do relate to each other.
I cannot look into the devs' heads (nor have I watched their streams, where they are not exactly secretive about their views and intentions) but I can imagine them enjoying the meta aspect of people discussing the quest with other people on different systems. I don't think they'd consider it a cheap gimmick.

This is exactly the reason.
All versions have all DLCs, but each version only tells the player about the system relevant one. You can find the locations of the quests of the other platforms by communicating with owners of the other platforms or by googling "crosscode PC exclusive quest" and checking the relevant reddit threads.

Okay, so if I'm reading what you said correctly: All four quests are in all four versions of the game, but each version only tells you about how to find one of them. Am I understanding that correctly?

Not really. Spoilers ahead, I will try to be vague but I will describe the structure of the overarching quest: Each platform (PC, PS, Switch, Xbox?) has a location that you can only visit on that platform. There you learn whereabouts of 1 of 4 "thingies" you need to find to reach this questline's final location. That final location is accessible, and the same, for all players on all platforms, and those 4 aforementioned "thingies" are in all platforms, in same spots. But, to use CrossCode's dungeons as a metaphor, only 1 platform visits Heat Dungeon, only another one visits Cold Dungeon, only yet another one visits Shock Dungeon, and only the last platform visits Wave Dungeon. Then people post their "thingy location" hints on the internet and then every platform gets to visit the final destination as a result of their cooperation. All those platform-exclusive sub-locations are similar in terms of how the quest is structured and how much content they have. I would like to play them all too, but this is probably the best way to add a cross-platform cooperation quest and treat every platform the same way and still spice things up more than just carbon copying the same quest for all platforms. I hope once the dust settles down every platform gets those remaining quests too.

Absolutely agree with you. I understand the devs wanting to sell their game beyond a single platform, or two. But differentiating content like that does no good. What is a fan supposed to do, buy three consoles and three copies of the games? Makes no sense for BS that Sony does with Spiderman as an exclusive character in Avengers, and makes much less sense for an indie game to have.

Indies should be better than this, I agree. I don't want to think that indie developers aren't greedy like EA or Sony ONLY because they have a small budged and sell fewer copies and they can't.

I can't tell if you're mocking me or if you just haven't seen the announcement yet, but literally this complaint became outdated today. New patch gives exactly what I was asking for.

No, you look at it like a mature adult, accept that not everyone gets to play everything, and move on with your life.

If you must, go watch it on YouTube. It's not the end of the world.

Besides, if you wait a year or two, the exclusivity deal will run out, it'll quietly come out on all platforms for free, and you can get it then.
