Why can't I ever rep you?
Ach, he's got way too much already. Never shares any of it either

Would be great, but given the differences between the Xbox and PC versions currently I don't know if it's feasible on ED. I would definitely welcome it though, as it would be good to see PC CMDRs in game as well.
I honestly don't get it. What differences prevent this?

With comments like that he deserves it. Incidentally I can't rep him either ;P
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't there been a total of ZERO Xbox One games that can cross-play with the PC version of whatever the game is?
Can we get a comment on this from Frontier at all?
Controller differences shouldn't be used as an excuse not to do it, so long as Xbox players can still *choose* to only to play with other Xbox players (which is an MS stipulation anyway, IIRC).
Yes, because it wasn't allowed *before* - not like this anyway.
Last gen. there were a couple of (or just one?) MS games that had it between Xbox 360 and Windows.
This gen. MS initially allowed it between Xbox One and Windows 10, with the now-cancelled Fable game set to feature it.
MS is now *fully* up for it, though - and not just between Xbox One and Windows 10 via Xbox Live, but between Xbox Live and Steam, Xbox Live and PSN...

As of right now, Rocket League, Idarb, and there are a couple of more indy style games that are. I would say at E3 we'll see a few more. I think in co-operative games you'll see plenty of cross platform gaming. PvP will be segregated due to the fact of E-sports leagues, and large amounts of cash being at stake.
YUP!
Frontier NOT doing this just shows us how little they understand these systems.
I mean.. they set up private play expressly for people who wanted to play in the BGS, but don't want to interact with the general population. So why concern yourself with what controls each platform is going to use?
Lame excuse is lame.
I asked Gary Richards about this in the latest Xbox update thread, as he was being active in it today and yesterday.
