      What if we still lived in the era where games could have single player and multiplayer modes without worrying about constantly updating the multiplayer mode and monetizing it in perpetuity?

        Seriously, the Last of Us had a really fun multiplayer mode. They didn’t have to make it some shitty treadmill of garbage for people to engage with it.

          The press release sure read as though it was an inconceivable notion that they could build a multiplayer game that wasn’t going to get updated forever. It made me so angry.

      It only took them roughly 3 years, buying out Bungie and still failing to pull anything off to do that
