Why on PS4 there is no the chat in the lobby and at the end of the match, while on PC it does?

    It's definitely not for the slowness, on many games that are also for PS4, the chat in the lobby exists and if it were really for the slowness, it would be a bit discriminatory not to create the chat for these people. There are people who are very slow to write two words on PC, however, on PC, BHVR, created the chat, can you explain this to me too?


    Last thing, it's not that if you're a PS4 gamer, you're a slow person to write. There are slow people and fast people to write in this world, so certainly also from PC and on any other videogame platform existing on this planet.

    I'm willing to bet it's because of crossplay issues. Like, the chat does exist for console players, it's just hidden. I'd be willing to bet it's because they don't want PS4 users trying to report PC players to Sony for vulgar language that on Steam is largely acceptable.

    In my opinion, it could be as you say. If we think that each platform has its own regulation, obviously, one different from the other and above all, one with more or less restrictions than another, it is normal that perhaps you cannot report a person from another platform if on the platform of that person is not forbidden, for example, a specific word...
