i think they play it safe on a new platform.
it's not like they already have a lot of experience with the 3DS regarding it's multiplayer capabilities. Online Multiplayer is one of the most heavily patched game assets these days. They can hardly put out a beta for a system that hasn't even released yet, if that would be possible at all on the 3DS
i guess they will wait and see what is really possible and how it works when the system is actually released before simply releasing a buggy mess and getting even more flame.
besides, i don't see any reason to be upset about this. i could understand this thread if they never said anything about it and you found out after you bought it.
but since you know: you don't want it, don't buy it!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
