Yeah, this has been known for some time. But anyway, we can't praise or scorn Naughty Dog just yet. We need to all just wait a while before declaring this as a good decision or bad decision. Is the multiplayer is bad then we can say they made the right decision. If it's good, then we can't say that. But as of now, we just don't know.
I don't really understand why some are upset with this decision at this point. The only reason I can think of is because they just dislike multiplayer in general. While its understandable to dislike multiplayer, I can't think of any valid reason to wish it gone. The fact is its optional and you can play the game as is its not even there. You could make the argument that the inclusion of multiplayer means a weaker single player. That's really a weak argument and its really just guessing. No one knows what the game could have been without multiplayer.
You could use sequels with multiplayer and compare them to their predecessors without multiplayer. But that's not really an accurate method to judge the effects that multiplayer has on singleplayer. There are so many unknown variables with sequels that its impossible to know the effects of multiplayer without travelling to a parallel dimension where the game didn't have multiplayer so you could compare the two. Also consider that some sequels with mutiiplayer have improved singleplayers, while some have weaker singleplayer. Some of the best singleplayer games this gen have multiplayer. There really is no evidence to suggest that multiplayer harms single player.
