Are people really like this?

I saw a pf made, which specified pc players only and when I asked why I got this response :

It made me feel kinda sad really. Some people may not have the funds or technical knowledge to keep a pc up-to-date, and there are other reasons too. I did wonder how they intended to vet party members, and if their disgust stretched far enough to stop them playing roulettes.

That is just sad. "PC Master Race" should stay a joke.

Back in the day of PS3, I would see groups refuse PS3 players because players were often seen as having too much lag to reliably complete mechanics. But I've never seen someone refuse PS4 players because of some grudge against the console market.

Oh my god, can that person be any more cringe-worthy? I hate to generalize but *coughbasementredditarmydwellercough*

Unfortunately, there are troglodytes like that but by and large the majority of people are not. Thankfully. The one good thing about them being open about their bias is that there is less time you have to deal with them before you go on your way.

This is sad, and even more sadly enough there are alot of people like this. Not usually this bold with a pc party only...which makes zero sense.

And how exactly would they know what platform you're playing on anyway, you could say anything and they wouldn't know, but really who is going to join a group with that kind of attitude from a recruiter.

They will only know once you are in the instance if it's cross world. When you exam people's gear, if they are PS4 players, it shows their gamertag in the bottom right corner under the job stone.

True to a point, though if you're playing on PC the gamertag doesn't display to PC users, it only shows up for other PS4 users, so they couldn't tell if they are playing on PC to begin with, they would need to be on PS4 to see who else is playing on PS4.

It only shows that if you are on PS4 as well—it won’t show it if a PC player is examining a PS4 player, unless they have changed that in the year since I switched from PS4 to PC. I’ll have to go examine some of my friends that play on PS4 to double-check, but fairly certain it only shows your PSN name to other PS4 players.

That I did not know. I've always been on PS4, so I kind of assumed it was the same way for both. But that is definitely good to know. Even if it is a bad idea because you could blacklist/avoid someone to your hearts content, and not realize who it is you are adding on PSN if you never voice chat them/send messages(one reason I always appear offline...that and people like to send me tons of invites while watching movies)

yeah. I just checked this with a random FCmate and the info wasn't there. maybe it shows when you're in a group or duty but I'm doubtful.

You only see the tag if your a PS4 player yourself.
