This game is not cross platform yet so I want to try and download the Xbox version onto my PC because all my friends are on Xbox
I don't like Microsoft so I don't want to buy an Xbox

As the title says, I'm requesting that we try to get support for an Xbox Play Anywhere version of the game.
Before this gets out of control I would like to clear some things up.
1: This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the steam version of the game.
2: I'm only looking for supporters of this request, not everyone who has a negative opinion on why they THINK it may not work.
3: I am not assuming it's easy or difficult to make this happen, I do not work for DE so I am not an expert on this game, and neither are any of you unless you work for them on this game specifically, so please don't come here just to tell my you know coding and know it won't work.
I play on the Xbox one, and I absolutely love the game. I however hate my Xbox itself. This is the only game I play anymore, and I can't play it with a controller due to a work related hand injury, so I play with using a Xim4. My console has enough issues to make me think it will dies out any day now. I want to play the PC version of the game, but I do not want to spend the time trying to catch up to where I am now. I'm not asking for a migration, because it's been made clear that DE will NOT allow me to transfer my progress to my preferred platform.... I'm am only asking that we get support for the Xbox Play Anywhere program. I have a decent gaming PC that I use regularly.(I started Warframe on Xbox long before I built the PC)
The Xbox okay anywhere program, if you aren't aware of, is way for Microsoft to allow owners of supported game to play them in either their Xbox console or a windows 10 PC, but through the Microsoft servers only accessing the Xbox live database. Meaning you use your Xbox account and can only play with people connect through that same service.
Minecraft is one such title that allows this, and now they even allow access from almost every platform out there. I think PlayStation and Sony are the only ones not included. For example I okay Minecraft on my PC and my kid uses his tablet to connect with me, or he'll use my Xbox to connect with me. But this is done through the Xbox play anywhere program. Now Minecraft is owed by Microsoft so obviously they have their full support on this. But they aren't the only one.
Ark: Survival Evolved is another title that is supposed by this feature. Ark has a steam version, the original version, of their game and console versions. They also have an Xbox play anywhere version of the game that is completely separate from their steam version. It's connected through Xbox live and you can play with your console friends without having to use a console, and you get full mouse and keyboard support.
From what I can tell, and this is only my perspective on this, the Xbox Play Anywhere version of these games only seem to be ports of the Xbox version. And altered to be used with multiple hardware. I'm not gaming coder or engineer, and forgive me if this is completely false. But I'm pretty sure DE, with their personal experience in developing their own game of different hardware for YEARS, they can manage to make it compatible again, but with the Xbox version. I know ark and Minecraft are completely different games built in completely different engines. But it seams as if the play anywhere program itself is something Microsoft has engineered with all Xbox games in mind to allow for this to happen. It's just up to the devs of their own games if they want to pursue this.
If you are a PC player of the game, this really has nothing to do with you unless you play the Xbox version as well or have friends that play it who don't have a PC to play with you. And if you are a PlayStation player, well I don't really have any answer for you, I know steam works with Sony on other games, who knows maybe you'll see crossplay in the future.
I'm not asking for a miracle, I'm only asking for DE and hopefully other supporters to read this post and get this out there.
If this post is formatted poorly or in the wrong section, I apologise. If you are only going to bash my post with your negativity, please save yourself the time of typing because unless you work for DE you have no sure way of knowing if this can or cannot be done.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I'm sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes. I did this on my phone with a disfigured hand.
I play warframe on my pc and want to play xbox version with my friends
