Anyone know how common it is for Platforms to run games on PC servers? Is it even a thing? I really don't know, but I cannot imagine trying to play STO with just a game controller... Guess we'll see.
it can and does happen. but it doesnt look pretty.
and the game has quite a few leaks in it. and console players will crap a brick over it.

DC Universe Online has PC and console players combined on the server. That game, though, is set up to be console gamer friendly.

Yeah but less console friendly games like Final Fantasy XIV and ESO support mouse and keyboard on the PS4 and play just fine. STO will do just fine as well. I am more concerned about a segregation of the two communities, when I'm trying to find a way to let my girlfriend play with me without having to build ANOTHER gaming computer.

Like every other console game, it won't be cross platform. That means no PC and console interaction. Which is kind of stupid but it is what it is.

If you take DCUO, ESO, Elite Dangerous, and FFXIV into account, this isn't necessarily true with MMOs.

NO Jarek, but they haven't said it's cross platform specifically. So the likely answer is no it will not.

We'll have to agree to disagree, then. I've yet to see an MMO on consoles that wasn't cross platform networked.

Is neverwinter cross platform? That would be your answer most likely.
