What's with the portability for free of DBD to SOME platforms?

If I am not wrong, old Xbox customers can play DBD for free in the new console?

any other cases you know? for instance why not Steam users to Stadia?

what is the criteria to choose which platform is portable for free?

    I'm guessing it's the fact that new consoles are being treated as hardware and software upgrades (finally), the same way you don't have to repurchase the game if you change your GPU or get a new OS on your PC.

    It's a good tactic from Sony and Microsoft's point of view. 4K at 60fps encourages us to upgrade our consoles but blocking cross-progression discourages us from swapping sides.

    it would make sense if they gave DBD for free in Stadia for Steam users

    Arguably it would make sense for you to be able to purchase a game and use it on whatever platform you wished, but things are more complicated than that. However, Stadia and Steam are not comparable to previous generation consoles and current generation consoles. Stadia is not an upgrade to Steam or your PC.

    Arguably indeed, old machines losers are forced to move to Stadia and pay DBD twice because devs failed at optimizing the game!
