Uhh... Nice self contradiction.
People who pay twice do so because they want the luxury of playing the same account on two entirely different platforms.

The system is built for people to pick their platform and roll with it. Just because you want to play it on your laptop while out and about while also using your PS4 at home does not mean SE should simply give it to you out of the kindness of their heart.
You're also failing to understand the sheer development effort that goes into porting a game from one platform to another.
Ever wondered why PC ports are often horrible broken messes compared to their original PS/Xbox versions? Or for that matter why it often takes an entire Development Studio to make said port?

Thats time and money SE sank into making it crossplatform, its entirely normal for the company to charge separately for that.
If i could use a PC code to play on PS4, i could pick up the game for half the cost of the PS4 version and play it on PS4 exclusively anyway.
A quick google shows that Steam has ARR for $19.99 while the PS4 version is $47.95. Digital CE on Steam is $39.95 while the PS4 Digital CE is $69.95.

Now who in their right mind would pay the PS4 prices when they could get the PC code for nearly 50% off and have it work on their PS4 anyway?
