Howdy!
I just wanted to drop by to request this game be ported to console. I think it would be awesome to play on these platforms. Just to give more opportunity for players to pick it up and enjoy it! I can’t speak for others but personally found myself off the computer more since working from home so long. I don’t like getting off work on my home computer then getting back on… so I’ve been playing a lot more on my PS5 recently(don’t worry I do other things wood working, garden, run, walk the dog and life.). You could make it cross-play!
Thank you all for the great work you do!
Could you make it cross-play? I honestly have no idea. But that would be the biggest hurdle, I imagine.
You theoretically can, but it’s difficult to get some of the companies to do so. Nintendo actually seems to be fairly encouraging on this front (DoS2, Thronebreaker, Witcher 3, and Hades all support cross-platform saves with Steam and/or GoG), but Sony in particular seems to be against it, although they have allowed it for a couple of prominent games (such as Rocket League).
But at the end of the day, console ports take a lot of time and effort. I doubt doing so would really bring any significant number of new players to the game, which means there really isn’t a financial incentive for them to do so. Especially since the game is free+MTX, they don’t get any $ from existing players who want to check it out on another platform.
Honestly, Blizzard has a hard enough time keeping things up to date between Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Without a strong financial incentive, which isn’t present, there’s really no compelling reason for them to do this… it increases the cost of all future development.
It sucks, because I’d really love to see this on the Switch in particular, but I don’t see any likelihood that they’ll do it, and I can understand why that’s the case.
