skeletonbow: One thing about Crossplay that I never see anyone mention really, is that the average gamer who has heard about it but doesn't know the details, as well as the average gaming journalist seems to think Crossplay is some magic wand, like GOG made this magic software that connects to Steam, connects to Origin or any other gaming service and enables gamers on any of those services to play games with anyone on other services and it works with any game that's on GOG that is also on Steam or wherever. Magic wand.
More like they think that games connect to servers or direct IPs, not that the online servers are limited to where the game is purchased from. That only makes sense for ranked play.
