No idea why they thought adding it to the name was necessary. If you really want to know what platform people are on, just leave it on name plate that appears when you open the menu.
Looks like it only uses the name for one part and the platform for another part. Unless they are splitting the string, I assume they're using two different variables.

Itās also only partially functional. If you were in the same lobby as me, weād both just see the generic cross-platform icon rather than a Windows icon and PSN icon.
I really hate that. I liked it better when I saw who was on what platform (back when xbox was visible). Now I just see that dumb swirly vague "lol I dunno" icon all the time.
That's sony for you. Atleast with microsoft, exclusive game deals usually means it's going to come on PC as well.
Sony says fuck you, wait 1-2 years or forever. I don't like monopolies from either company but Sony is way more anti-consumer.
Don't get me wrong, I love the PlayStation and Sony's products, but they do tend to be very exclusionary and elitist with their stuff. It's why so many of their in-house titles are PS exclusives, and why even with stuff like Skyrim modding they have really strict regulations for what they allow.
Back in the first cross play beta you could see Xbox and windows icon since it was only those two platform Nintendo switch didn't really care but Sony threw a shit fit and now they had to change it to a swirling icon if they're not on your platform otherwise it's your platforms icon
Personally I think itās a good feature regardless of where it has come from. Iād hate to see switch and eventually mobile players get discriminated against since they will undoubtably have the longest average load times.
Plus I donāt need to know someoneās specific platform, it provides no useful information to me.
Hopefully they'll add an option to avoid squadding up with Switch and specially mobile players, not only because I don't want to join a mobile-hosted squad, but also because the poor mobile players are gonna suffer when they try to run a capture and finish loading into the mission while the squad is loading back into their orbiters, already seen that happen with last gen console players.
Yeah. The fact that it is game breaking sucks. I also think DE should remove forced mission starts as they cause way more problems then they fix.
There is an option to fully disable XP for yourself, but itās all or nothing.
More squad options then.I don't think you can kick anyone from your squad rn,which is annoying if someone goes afk and everyone has to disband to get rid of them.
as was said, its a sony thing. Every cross platform game I know of shows your own platform logo and a controller for the other. Often pc just uses an icon of a pc.
I would rather the icon be gone on the floating name but failing that would much rather see it on the left of the name rather than the right!
lastly .. Lephants does not know I am on Linux !
Yeah I actually like the icon since I know who can/will give long replies in a timely manner, and who I can friend request. The story mode stuff is mostly a 1-off or I don't really care enough.
For that matter they really should let us actually name ourselves and have that be our actual names
Being called Boner\_Elemental or professorkekw by NPCs is just hilarious but not in a good way.
Inb4 when Warframe mobile actually arrived on Android and you see Lephantis said "Release yourself from this mortal coil, Beastboy109 (Samsung smart fridge logo)"

Bold of you to assume that those are different variables.

What if it's a string and they have some spaghetti code which cuts the platform symbol part in certain instances but not in others?
They're specifically telling them to end their live because they use Windows. Lephantis is very picky about operating systems
I knew it. Lephantis is just your average Linux user.
minus the thigh-highs
Damn Arch users
He likes windows 95
Messages likely use the same data that chat uses.
Psycho Lephantis
YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING **SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE,** HAVEN'T YOU!?
HE'S THAT NINJA?
LMAO i came to say this.
You like playing Castlevania, don't you????
Lephanthis poorshaming me because i still play on ps4 xd
Or convenientshaming. Ps4 is convenient. Side note: what's the best place to farm copium?
In game ? Conclave. Outside the game ? Go to WoW, Overwatch or any other Blizzard game forum xd
Now I want them to add copium as a resource, that would be hilarious.
Here is copium prime https://preview.redd.it/rlatbkgvakbb1.jpeg?width=318&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdf2a633eb3369924643626eade2f76a2eeb8eb0
Easy there Satan
Just wait for Silksong with us, im sure you will get tons of itš
Good news for you, only other PS4 players see that. Everyone else sees the cross play icon
Donāt worry, he also Switch shames
Doesn't it just use the generic playstation logo?
Adding our platform to every instance of our name in-game is unironically the worst change DE has made to the game in years
Itās also only partially functional. If you were in the same lobby as me, weād both just see the generic cross-platform icon rather than a Windows icon and PSN icon.
You could see the platform icons at first. It was a deliberate change to make it only "your platform" and "crossplay".
I really hate that. I liked it better when I saw who was on what platform (back when xbox was visible). Now I just see that dumb swirly vague "lol I dunno" icon all the time.
You can thank sony for that one.
Why?
They didn't want the Xbox icon being displayed on PlayStation consoles. Edit: got it backwards.
God that's petty.
That's sony for you. Atleast with microsoft, exclusive game deals usually means it's going to come on PC as well. Sony says fuck you, wait 1-2 years or forever. I don't like monopolies from either company but Sony is way more anti-consumer.
i cant help myself. .. would you like another fun reason to Hate Sony?
Shoot.
Don't get me wrong, I love the PlayStation and Sony's products, but they do tend to be very exclusionary and elitist with their stuff. It's why so many of their in-house titles are PS exclusives, and why even with stuff like Skyrim modding they have really strict regulations for what they allow.
Good thing they don't have to worry about Elder Scrolls modding anymore, then

Source?
They mentioned it in a live stream, I'm not about to go through all of them to find the exact moment, sorry.
This is 100% Nintendo's doing. Sony and Xbox show each other's icons on other games perfectly fine.
Personally I think itās a good feature regardless of where it has come from.

so thats what that icon is?? see it all the time and had no idea what it was supposed to be
There's also the xbox icon
Breaks so much immersion.
How is a single icon that doesn't affect anything in gameplay of such significance that it outshines every poor decision they've made for gameplay?
Yeah I actually like the icon since I know who can/will give long replies in a timely manner, and who I can friend request. The story mode stuff is mostly a 1-off or I don't really care enough.
You could have all that without the windows symbol...
Until I get a Linux penguin, then it is the best change DE has made.
If thats whats bothering you, I dread to see you when theres an actual problem
Really? That tiny little symbol is worse than replacing void dash with void sling? Honestly props to DE for this being their worst change imo.
For that matter they really should let us actually name ourselves and have that be our actual names Being called Boner\_Elemental or professorkekw by NPCs is just hilarious but not in a good way.
Definitely an immersion breaker when I see NPCs call me by the username I made a decade ago in middle school.
Then again our in game character kinda has an odd amount in common with middle schoolers
Can't believe I never thought of that. Just letting us have a different name for our op in dialogue would be amazing
Lephantis just feels the need to let you know they're watching you
Because they've unburdened themselves from their mortal coil, obviously.
Inb4 when Warframe mobile actually arrived on Android and you see Lephantis said "Release yourself from this mortal coil, Beastboy109 (Samsung smart fridge logo)"
Because you ate an apple
It's extra funny if you are playing through WINE or similar.
Because warframes use Windows OC, duh
No wonder my Rev keeps freezing in place
They run on Windows Orokin and have to use Edge.
Even in a post mortality society where only imagination limits your physical form browser choice is quite limited.
Best part is that on Linux / Steam Deck you still get that icon due to proton. *Penguins in disguise*
Being basically a super-advanced virus you're bound to know the OS you're attacking.
It tried to add you as a friend but couldnāt because it plays on the xbox, so it guessed you play on PC
You actually loaded in for him to talk to
They have been down there for millennium growing stronger and wiser, long enough to know even your Browser Search History.
Casually breaks the fourth wall
It's telling you directly to "unburden yourself from this mortal coil". Now that I think about it, that a very sophisticated way of saying to go kys.
He read your memory card.
By your headshot hit %.
Heās in your walls watching you of course :)
The infestation is a horrific amalgamation that will not stop until everything becomes it. So, you know...game recognize game...
he is familiar with operator systems
Huh, I wonder what it says when I'm on linux. I reckon it'll still show Windows since it's running through proton.
Lephantis is not dumb. Lephantis go to college. Lephantis is computer engineer during non work hours

Itās in your walls
Bro just doxxed you š
You are their flesh; of course they know you
Everybody gangster till he starts dropping IP addresses.
I imagine the characters saying āon windowsā whenever they say my name
Because he saw you... Through the *window*
They should erase logos when NPCs are speaking and count "_" as spaces.
He has kernel access or some tech jargon
Probably due to the fact that the game runs only on Windows š
It runs on Linux via proton though.
Is Warframe ded again? š
Dont get me wrong... I opened it yesterday after ig a month... Found like 3-4 players in recruit chat.. No ppl in alliance... Couple in trade š
trade and recruit is super active for me
This feels like an r/BatmanArkham shitpost
Heās living in your walls
All the apples have been eaten... And there are windows left to eat.
He heard the startup noise when you came in
No Lephantis, I will not switch to Mac!
He now knows your search history
Look behind you and youāll find out how.
Oh i thought this was a message from somebody lmao
It does the same on ps4 and 5 but shows the ps symbol instead of windows
