Developer Jagex be positioned t' ship Runescape across all consoles, free-t'-play 'n with complete cross-platform capabilities, if CEO Mark Gerhard has anything t' say about it. Which, as CEO, he does. Gerhard told Develop that some console owners wanted t' charge for Runescape, which he sees as absolute lunacy. "People pillage this for free. ye're shooting yourself in the foot," Gerhard said. "But Sony be ahead a the game; they said they pillage it. They understand free. But all three said, 'okay, but we won't let our console play online with any other.'"

Gerhard be waiting for the console market t' realize cross-play be a universally beneficial strategy, at least with Runescape, as it doesn't have any graphical aspects that favor one console over another. "I think they [Microsoft, Sony 'n Nintendo] will open up their platforms a bit more, liberate them a bit more. it be just a matter a time," he said. "But we be well placed t' be on all devices soon so we can have a global community."
