Based on beta testing of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve is dropping plans to support cross-platform play in the upcoming multiplayer shooter, reports Joystiq. "The beta has proved we want to update not just the beta, but the game itself post-launch frequently on the PC," Valve's Chet Faliszek tells them. "To do that we need to separate the platforms so one doesn't hamstring the other. So for that, we have removed the idea of cross-platform play -- essentially make all platforms stronger by not mixing them."
