I just got here, so this had probly been discussed before, so, sorry, but....
I've heard that dst will NEVER have crossplay - why not?
I ask because my girlfriend has a medical condition which prevents her from using anything other than mobile devices, so I am buying her a switch. I wish we could play DST but me and my other friends I play with are all using steam.
I am most likely going to resort to getting her a handheld PC (they are neat but MUCH more expensive than a Switch).
I do think crossplay would hold a lot of appeal for a lot of people, however. If the pocket pc was not an option, this would have cost you a sale. I'm wondering how many more pass on this game due to not being able to play it with friends (which is the whole point).
I understand that crossplay is not easy to implement, judging by how long the feature has been in development limbo for Spelunky 2, as another example. But I do question: is it THAT difficult, to be worth missing out on all those potential sales?
