when a satisfactory comes to console will we get crossplay between console and PC or a later date, we are we haven't decided yet if we want to do crossplay I think we're leaning towards not doing crossplay because it comes with so many complications, and also the majority last time at least when I asked on stream the vast majority of people did not want like the issues that come with it for instance if we have to have crossplay that means that all PC updates will need to be delayed until we have it on Console so we have to go through certification for every single time we patch the game and that means that we can't push that on PC until it comes through on Console, so we have less flexibility on PC to update the game M, and, yeah it's just more things we have to implement and and maintain and, it will potentially take longer to release the game on console and stuff like that so we're leaning towards not having crossplay but no full decisions yet
