If we need to be on the same platform, I’d think that’s pretty poor design, but I can’t be sure cause I can’t see their code. I am a programmer, from a programming perspective it shouldn’t be hard to communicate (especially) this simple information between two platforms.

The only information that needs to be sent is the same info that’s sent between players on the android version, or ios version. That data should be: Which Friend? Which Transformer? What level is he? How many seconds? And after combat send back a thanks or no thanks.

The idea is to send only as much information as necessary to perform the basic functionality. to prevent information discrepancies when data is sent. Let’s say High Octane Bumblebee shoots rocket bursts in the lender’s version, but in the borrower’s version, he shoots only single rockets, then use the borrower’s version of High Octane Bumblebee. Sure, you might not be using the actual High Octane Bumblebee that the lender uses, but you’re the one with the different version of the game, and at least you get to borrow him.
