No, we're not assuming so. You said you don't see why people don't play both SP and MP and I provided some reasons why people might not want to play MP or why people might strongly prefer SP. And yes, people do have the right to say 'good' whenever they hear a game has no MP. Whether it's actually good or not is debatable but they definitely have the right to say so. And I don't know where you've been but I've definitely heard enough dissing of SP here. Call of Duty would probably be a good example of that: "I don't see why anyone would play CoD for SP." And the fact is, 'great' is a very subjective word in this case so you can't just say that both SP and MP are great and expect people to think the same way as you do - they have the right to disagree. Of course similarly everyone has the right to not like SP and say it aloud. |
You're support was people don't want to play tacked on MP. That suggests that you think all MP is tacked on. When I say people don't have the right, I'm pointing out a double standard. Whenever I see a dev announce that a game doesn't have an MP mode, many comments say "good." Or when a game does have it, people get pissed off. People, for some reason, are under the impression that every new multiplayer is just tacked on. I'm not saying tacked on multiplayer isn't stupid, I'm saying that the assumption that every new multiplayer is tacked on is even dumber. If a game said they were taking away the single player component, I don't think every comment would be like "it was just tacked on anyway" except in the case of battlefield and maybe COD.
