Testing.

If you start throwing different consoles and data at each other, the number of potential weird bugs starts multiplying exponentially, requiring many, many more man-hours of testing and QA. It's probably why we don't have cross-generation play now. No right-minded programmer wants to deal with a crash-bug that involves 2 PS4s, an Xbone, and and a 360.

Hats off to the Rocket League guys, though. That's not a challenge i would take on.

There are games on GOG and Steam that allow multiplayer (including coop) between OSX, WIndows and Linux. Games that cost less than Destiny.
