very bad
I don't know why this game is locked in the Nintendo eco system on consoles.
Ya that is why it doesn't make sense considering that Monster Hunter World sold 1.7 million on Xbox & 5.5 on PS4; they left so much money on the table. The game was made especially for Switch but they could of easily offered a remastered version for Xbox and Playstation after a time exclusivity on switch.
Just like MHW was locked on Playstation in Japan.
That's a shame, as a Switch player I would've loved to have played with PC friends. Ah well.
What gets me is every time this kind of thing happens with (insert developers name here) knowing the game was cross platform early on. they make out like it didn't occur to them during early development that this would be a requested feature and the inevitable answer is we have heard you now the PC version is about to release and looked at it but it's a no can do.
Awwww that’s disappointing
