Since Arthur has said no plans for Cross-platform, can we get an answer to cross-save please?
With the new openness, and "no answer is worse than a bad answer", and CMs supposedly watching the forums now, an answer would help clear up expectations.
For those unsure what it is, this is where platform accounts are linked to a user account, and game progress is saved in the cloud / servers. Typically this is used intrinsically in MMO live-service games (like Elite Dangerous).
This means one can play on a platform, for example PS4, finish a session, next time play on a different platform like PC, and you continue with the progress you last had on PS4.
Now there's various ways to enable this, needing to buy a copy per platform, and restricting DLC to the platform it was purchased on only. While other companies are more open with this stuff, just basic crosssave would be appreciated at this point in Elite's lifespan (leaving last-gen consoles behind, and get 4K 60fps with our PS4 cmdr saves).
Here's how it is implemented in Destiny 2 (informative on linking etc): https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/destiny-2-cross-save-setup-supported-platforms-6007
