| Barozi said: There are tons of great multiplayer mods available (Desert Combat, Counter-Strike, Garry's Mod, NEOTOKYO°, Galactic Warfare and many more), but immersive singleplayer mods are very rare. So yeah it's easier to make a proper MP game. The only critical thing is the balance, but that's it. |
I'd argue about the quality of those mods. Counter-Strike is really the only mod that was so amazing, it broke into the mainstream (and justified tons of Half-Life purchases). Does anybody pay money for the others you listed?
It's obvious that it takes more resources and people to make an immersive single player game. That doesn't mean it takes any more talent. It's like saying books are not art, because they're easier to make than a movie. There are far more great books, right?
