Looks like Payday 2 is gonna become one of those classics that always remain relevant and unofficially supported with community-made patches and updates well into the future.
who the fuck even wants cross play this badly? minecraft bedrock exists seemingly solely for cross play , and anytime i play minecraft with someone they specifically want to play java. i’m convinced the largest market share of cross play users is young folks with no real control over what play they play on.
That's the excuse those companies give for it. There's nothing stopping someone like Microsoft from making "Bedrock" and "Java" Minecraft versions play together. Just establish an API and make separate clients if needed.
