Please don't waste resources on multiplayer.

If it's a success, you can probably say goodbye to getting any single player DLC like what happened with GTA Online.

It's hard to blame rockstar when people spend that much money on shark cards. Why even bother?

At this point in time I assume all new titles from major studios will be battle pass money extraction software rather than games. It's hard to get excited about this.

I'm turned off when I hear multiplayer. They'll just turn it into garbage, micro transaction bullshit that takes developers away from the main game.

Cyberpunk 2? If they're adding multiplayer that would be awesome but they'd likely have to rewrite the entire game to support it. Unless theyre scrapping 2077s engine and starting over completely in a different engine for Cyberpunk 2.

I’m pretty sure they’ve said they’re moving to Unreal.

They previously (last year or so) said this was their plan.
