Does Mass Effect 3 multiplayer care about platform? [closed]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Can I play multiplayer across different platforms?

Do XBox players and PC players play together in ME3's multiplayer mode? Or are they relegated to distinct games per platform?

Couldn't seem to find anything in the first couple pages of google results when searching about this. It would seem really dumb if PC players only match with PC players and Xbox with Xbox.

Answer

You only play with other players on your platform. They all use different backends (Origin for PC, XBox Live for 360...) and your Multiplayer characters are tied to your console's account (so if your name is Bob on PSN, other players on PSN will see you as Bob), making them unique on that network, rather than tying them only to Origin accounts.

You're still tied to Origin for all Galaxy at War stuff and EA also uses it for DRM for extensions and to prevent cheating.
