Is anybody else waiting for the cross progression between PlayStation and Steam? xD

I just feel like either the effort isn't something they want to put in or there's a cost that they don't want to pay.
I'd be willing to actually pay extra for this on top of actually already buying the game twice and some of the DLC. You'd think that buying the parts of the game would be enough for all these companies that cross progression wouldn't be a big deal. But apparently something's in the way and I can't help but cynically think it's money.
Sony probably doesn't want it because if people could leave they lose out on that PS Plus subscription money. If it was just money from buying the game, they might not care so much.
I mean, the argument can easily be made that more people would buy a PS5 and PS Plus if they can also leave their PC and play DBD from their couch without having to grind 50 million BP just to get the same perks and addons.
I wish there was a Game PErformance Update instead so i can go back to Console DbD. It needs Graphical options, it needs Performance, it needs dedicated killer updates or give it K&M compatibility....
Sony wouldn't lose any money, people would still get PS Plus for all other games and free games, so this isn't an issue for Sony. Sony only looses on the DLC's which yes it's true, they'd sell less DLC on Console but if Console DbD was playable people wouldn't wanna move so....
IF the game was fixed on Console we wouldn't need Cross-Progression and Sony wouldn't lose DLC money but Sony is losing DLC money cause there's less and less Console players.
However all the pressure is on BHVR not Sony, either fix the game or make a deal for Cross-Progression. Take a % of a loss for an increase in player happiness and number of active players. With more players They'll sell more future DLC, so at a very fast pace they'll recover whatever loss they'd get but i understand how Math is so hard for BHVR judging by game Balance...
Kinda really need a rush on this, especially with how poorly the console is running and will continue to run on Pinhead release.
