Cross platform MMOs are not likely to take off, according to Star Wars: The Old Republic writer Daniel Erickson.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com about the future of cross-platform MMOs, Erickson explained: “While there’s always been a push for cross-platform gaming, I don’t really see MMOs being the place that it takes off as a pure implementation. In a community where a one point difference in DPS per character classes can cause major outcries, it’s hard to imagine accepting wholly different input devices.
“So until consoles have keyboard/mouse setups standard and enough users willing to find a way to use them in the living room, I imagine we keep the core game to one type of platform each.”
However, he added: “That said, using light console games or iOS games to enhance aspects of your MMO or explore other takes on the world is exciting.”
Star Wars: The Old Republic is currently a PC-only title. The development team has yet to announce an official release date.
