Accidental Cross-play Creates Havoc in Star Wars ‘Jedi Academy’ 596z

Leave it to veteran week when veteran PC players of Jedi Academy realized they could invade console games. i2c5f

Many excited console gamers logged on to play, only to discover an unexpected enemy:

PC players of the game.

“Apparently all you have to do is take the ed a game where one player was absolutely mopping the floor with us and he had .twitchtv in his name. Sure enough, I looked him up and he was playing on PC in a switch server absolutely decimating everyone.”

Not only are more experienced players trolling the new players by kiling them, but they’re also being particularly nasty, and some are even being racist.

“Dudes with the n-word as their name are ing your switch public lobbies and spamming keybinds with various slurs,” one Twitter  told developer Aspyr.

I’ve loved players learn about a game that I love.

While the fact that the coronavirus pandemic locking everyone indoors could have something to do with the trolls, it’s still really sad to see in the Star Wars community.

While cross-play could be fun if you were on PC and had console friends playing, there does need to be a way to avoid the trolls randomly ing games and harassing players.

So far, Aspyr has not come up with a fix.
