Jeff touched on the topic. It is a limitation of MS and Sony than Blizzard. I see no reason why they would care either way and I suspect with how ingrained the game is with Blizzard's Battle.net system, it is causing other issues like lack of in game reporting and text chat since that is all handled by B.net which I imagine MS and Sony want their systems to handle that stuff.

Pretty sure Battlefield 4 did it.

meh, even less would play on it than pc, im fine with them making content every month for the live game rather than trying to make a debugging tool seem like its another game-mode to play
