Why so much hate toward crossplay?

Dude we are playing the same game, we use the same character and watch the same youtubers, theres not such difference, its disgusting how much hate pc or console are getting.

    First game in a week. I got the crossplay notification when I booted the game. I was pumped. Chose Ghosty boy and someone used Mary’s letter. They broke my haunted grounds in record time. I downed the obsession immediately, hooked. I walked down the hall to realize I fudged up and should have gone down the other hall to get to the courtyard, I turned around and look! A wild Ace! Funny part is that I wasn’t in night shroud. I let him save Meg. Downed and hooked him. I go upstairs and meg comes running around the corner. To avoid being a toxic killer, I turned around and started down the other hall, breaking doors when I saw them and Meg comes creeping up about 30 seconds later. I down her, she dcs. Someone finally saves Ace and these idiots come down the hall toward me. I poke my head out and they start teabagging. I go after the new meg. I down her, dcs. Then I leave Ace be and I come across a Jane. She tries to 360 me and fails. Down Jane. Hook Jane. Dc. Hatch spawns next to me. I shut hatch. Ace reveals me. I let him get the door. They didn’t get a single gen done and at this point I feel bad. I check the names. The three that dc’d were crossplay. Ace was the only one who wasn’t and stayed to finish the game. If this is what I have to look forward to I may shut it off.

    I have no idea, I absolutely love cross play. Every single match I had on pc was the same 6 perks, the same tactics, the same gen rush. I got so bored and so toxic that I quit the game for a month.

    Now, I encounter new perks, new strategies, and people that aren't focused on hammering out gens as fast as freaking possible.

    The fact that I'm not sweating so hard means I can relax and enjoy the game, which also makes me less toxic. I haven't camped or tunneled or run a mori since this started. Even when I get gen rushed, I am not concerned since it's not happening every single game.

    I would be lucky to get a solid 30 FPS too, on PC, not everyone has $5k gaming rigs.

    EDIT: Crossplay is the best thing they've done since I started playing. Queue times are dramatically better.

    At first I was alright with it. I don't blame the players, although I've seen a lot of questionable choices from console players the last two days, lol. You see that a lot with PC players too though. My issues lye in lag. A lot of console killers seem to have a strange connection and as I've said for about two days now, I wonder if poor optimization on the console's end is causing problems for PC players. I mean, lag happens with PC killers too, but the frequency is a bit over the top for console killers. The same could be said that console survivors are at a disadvantage with a PC killer, but I've played a lot of killer now and it doesn't appear to be as great as the reversal.

    Other issues? Not many. I like that my killer ques are near instant now, so that's nice. Survivor takes quite a bit longer, especially when I two man with my husband. It's not as bad when I solo play, but I seem to get console 3 man SWF's frequently. Not a big fan on being the odd man out in a SWF party so often.

    These problems on top of bugs and the recent funky MMR has me gritting my teeth a bit though. It's a lot at once. However, MMR seems to be better!*

    Every game I play with console gamers they don't look behind them, hide in the corner of the map and leave immediately without saving teammates and I can't even turn it off lest I be sent back to mega queues

    Its made Solo Queue abysmal

    It's pc entitlement. They think that just because they spent over $1000 on their pc that they can talk like their dick is bigger.

    We are all doing the same thing, just in a different way. So it makes you think, do they not like things that are different? And if so, how far does that dislike of differences go?

    Edit: If I get banned for saying "dick" then it is 100% the fault of the people that run functionality of the dbd forums for not thinking of every word they could censor.

    "console wars"

    it was a long war but the peace treaty will come soon

    Anyway... Ahemmmm, throwing everyone together has:

    Almost overloaded the servers

    Created a "us vs. them" between consoles themselves and PC

    Further divided the survivors and killers (console survivors and PC survivors)... (console killers and PC killers)

    Has allowed players to finally play this game with others of different platforms (SWF's and KYF's)

    Provided more balancing issues... that probably should've been taken care of before (but that's neither here nor there)

    So apparently, they turned MMR off. That's why it's better. Ahem.. 😅
