Casuals come in all platforms I’ve met bad PC players. You make my victories on havoc 40 sound awesome. Didn’t know we were that rare winning on an inferior device with no mods too. I play everyday at least 1-2 havoc 40 wins then get off it’s practically routine. I do plan on getting a pc just to get that juicy fluid aim. I hope you guys get that cross play off button!
you earned em mate. 
started with an atari 2600 and a c64 in the 80s
first pc was a 486 and almost every 1-2 years afterwards a new rig.
meanwhile until ps2 i had with the exception of jaguar,3do and neo geo about every console chipped and modded so i could play japanese and us imports uncut.
at NO point in over 30 years (and early 2000s was a brief period with dreamcast players being lambs to the slaughter on quake 3 servers)
have i seen a dude doing well in first person shooter with a controller.
i’ve met dudes that were earning money performing like mtw and schroet kommando online and one time at a lan party a member of either (cant remember which sadly, been 25 years) that really put me in my place by performing “art in motion”.
the flew around like a dance of sorts, angry as i was not placing 1st, the lesson i got was priceless.
anyways, even today when you pop up a youtube video you see 3 seconds in if the guy uses a m&k or controller, its that plain obvious.
do it, you wont be disappointed.
get a proper one though, the fairy tale of 1000€ for a gaming pc is as old as “shooters run well on ps2”
guess 3000-3500€ you’ll find a real good one thats keeping the 144fps steady at max settings (and treat yourself to an oled with equal or more hz, thank me later 
)
ps:
true but given the “control group” amount of matches so far, console players play exeptionally worse in %
there are lots of inept pc dudes but in comparison to the whole populace at least the upper spectrum is better stocked

Is it not that all console players are bad.
It is because good console players are mixed in by overwhelming younger demographics due to accessibility of one device, plug and play into any TV.
When they’re walking around retails stores kids don’t ask for a PC for xmas or birthday. They ask for a PS5. Walk into average home with parents and 2 kids, bound to be a console under TV.
It is a convenient off the shelf and consistent experience per game as each console is identical hardware, which makes it attractive with minimal setup complexity.
There are good console players - But many times over match making is less likely to have them due to this demographic pool.

Yes, these anecdotes are often repeated, but numbers and consistency matter, not the “one time I saw a good consoler and another a bac pc”. We’ve all experienced these anecdotes, they don’t mean anything.

Back to OP.
If FS allowed PC players to disable crossplay, almost all of them would do it. Then console players can hardly find matches, and will be stuck playing Heresy instead of getting carried through Auric.
FS knows what they did when they provided console players with the option, but not PC players.
They didn’t, you can’t turn of crossplay in Darktide on console either.
My bad. A falsehood I was repeating then.

IIRC Darktide has the option to disable crossplay on consoles (or at least Xbox), but it’s through the system settings, not the game itself I believe.

Yeah it’s through the platform, not necessarily the game (like in D4), but IIRC that requirement for said platform has to be respected by a game?
e.g. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-turn-off-cross-play-xbox-one-series-x-s/
As I’ve said before, it seems they wanted the xboxers to play with PC, maybe to have a larger pool (be carried), though I didn’t see the logic then either as a smaller pool would just mean fewer full groups (even w/ ded servers), unless the population was too low back then, after PS5 I wonder if that’s no longer an issue.
And I’ll say it again, the game would have been better off with separate balance for PC vs Consoles like in VT2, I feel like part of the reason for power creep/dumbing down was consoles.
