@Ghillieman11 As said in the blog post, "Everything is a compromise. It's not that we're evil or stupid. We didn't choose not to have more players - we would love to do 64 players on console but then we would have to cut away so much; people would get very upset that it looked worse, played worse and wasn't as fun as the PC version." Bringing 64 players on console would mean they would have to downgrade graphics, destruction, map size, and etc.
