I play FFXIV and Warframe. I don't have a PSN account and crossplay is fully functioning with both Playstation and Xbox users. Heck, Warframe is even available on Switch and crossplay works just fine with those users without any account linking.

Yes, but presumably you have accounts with those games? If not, you can play with people on those platforms but you can't play with specific people on those platforms (e.g. a friend on the platform -- which is the bigger deal in my mind with crossplay).

Like, the PSN account is the equivalent of a Bungie, Paradox, or Crytek account, something that allows the game developer to maintain a cross platform friends list? No?

I suppose they could use a room code invite system for crossplay but that's way less convenient.

I never got into Hell Divers because it legit would not run on my system so I'm not super up on all the details but that's been my impression of why they might want it.

Either way... With all the negative feedback I'm surprised they're not screaming from the rooftops "we'll do something else!" I understand Sony is tying their hands as well though.
