It’s not there anymore, but was earlier.
So arrowhead are 100% telegraphing that this is Sony not them
They’ve literally stated it. I’ll see if I can find it again. Found it. https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cj8p0x/from_the_community_manager_on_the_discord/
Fun fact on Sony:
Warframe, regardless of what you think of Digital Extremes, had cross platform play pushed last year out, more recently cross platform save too. Both worked out of the gate when launched, they did their homework.
At its inception, each platform had its own little icon beside the player name to indicate what device they were on.
Sony took a look at the system and apparently freaked out that there was the potential of a PS player losing a PvP match to an Xbox or Switch player and demanded via legal threats that it be changed immediately.
MS didn’t seem to care and I think Nintendo was just amazed a half decent looking game with as many mechanics as Warframe can run on the Switch.
So now, players can see who is on their platform, and a universal icon if they aren’t.
This is the case with every cross-platform game I’ve played on PS. PS logo for PS players, a generic icon for everybody else. Makes it really frustrating in crossplay games when I have to ask myself “Did I somehow get placed into a M&K lobby, or is this guy just a Xim cheater?”
I’m inclined to believe this, but it does seem a bit urban-legend-esque. Do you happen to have a source?
