According to Jason Schreier at Kotaku
Cross-save will work between Xbox, PC, and Stadia, with no confirmation either way about PS4.

The whole fucking point of cross saves is that you can load up a character on any platform and play with your friends. If there's a platform it doesn't work for, it's not doing its job!
Like 2 people play on PC so this helps very little.

And both of them are streamers, so they want more grind anyway…

I will a) buy a gaming PC
and b) buy all of D2 for PC
if I can transfer my saves over there.
If PS4 gets left out, that’d suck... but I’m sure there’d be nobody to blame but Sony. Everything we’ve heard so far is that they’ve been the hold-out this entire time.

No, it's Bungie's fault.
Bungie made a deal with Sony for exclusivity. Character data itself is platform agnostic. There is zero technical reason why it can't happen. But Bungie chose to make the exclusivity deals with Sony. If they hadn't made a deal, every version would just connect to the Bungie.net servers and download your character.
Bungie != Activision

It was Harold Ryan’s decision to do exclusives. No way to know if Activision pressured him, but he signed the deal. Much to the surprise of several at Bungie.

Seriously? You're blaming Bungie for a decision made 5 years ago, even though everyone else involved (INCLUDING BUNGIE) has agreed to change the rules going forward?
This is Sony, not Bungie.

Have there been new PS4 exclusives since the split? Not to my knowledge, but I could very well be wrong.

Word on the street is there won't be anymore. Same date as cross-save support.

Exclusives are irrelevant. Destiny has already had cross-saves between different consoles (same manufacturer). I had content on 360 that I didn't have on Xbox. Cross-saves worked fine.

I'm sure that's a complicating factor, but Sony and MS were both still refusing to license games on the platform with cross play/save at that point anyway.
Now I just need to sell a kidney...

to buy one of those new Mac Pros. Have you seen them?
I'm like ...
EDIT: now that I think about it, I don't guess I need that power for Stadia... but...but...I WANT THAT POWER.
