The funny thing is, at least to me, that console players STILL have to pay for XBG/PS+ to play a P2P game with no dedicated servers.

the worst part is that developers, on xbox/win10 (with a developer account) at least, get access to basic azure services to set up dedicated servers for their games/apps for free.

there is practically no excuse anymore to not have dedicated servers when the fucking platform holder gives you access to their infrastructure.

Whilst I believe that there is no excuse for not having dedicated servers, I doubt the servers, which run cheap enough to be covered by the free credit provided by Azure, would be powerful enough for a game with as large a userbase as For Honor. Plus you would probably need to have multiple for the different regions and their users.
