Sure, but they already had a great implementation in EDF 5 so this isnt their first online rodeo. I get that they wanted crossplay but they defintely should have made it optional at least, instead of forcing on everyone who doesnt want crossplay or to even play the game offline.
Any multiplayer game should offer LAN-based P2P and/or self-hosted server options as far as I'm concerned, just because that's totally future proof. That should just be a default feature for a multiplayer game.
Beyond that you have to pick something, because normies aren't going to run their own servers and using open P2P via the internet is all kinds of security holes.
I do wonder what they were using before, Steamworks I assume? There's nothing wrong with that, but it only works on Steam.
I think its just p2p which should still be the case in edf 6 unless you are using crossplay.
