Yes and I stand on the keep your MPs out of my games. The dev didn't found a need to put MP but you are demanding it because you want MP in all games. I'm not going to CoD or Halo and requesting they to be SP only because that is not the focus. So I have no problem saying that a SP focused game don't get pestered with MP.

I keep arguing because those take time and resources that would be better invested on the focus of the game.

And no it doesn't add value, it adds feature. It would add value if it would sell more and make the devs more profit, so unless you can prove the game will generate more money due to MP (and more than it costed of course) them you can't affirm it. And the MP mania have destroyed a lot of IPs.

Ok this is getting ridiculous now so let's go back a bit.. We are talking about this 'next-gen AA game' Microsoft is hiring for right? My MP from your games wtf? Halo´s focus is both SP and MP and this is what jason and I were hoping for from this new game. Show me where I'm demanding MP for all games, please do.

I also think it was pretty obvious I mean value as bang for your buck when buying a game. I used Quantum Break as an example. Multiplayer would have offered countless of hours more time playing the game. That's value for your purchase. I might be wrong but developing costly single-player games has also destroyed lots of studios. I don't know how this, or what you are saying about the cost of MP, is relevant to this discussion though.

And I'm also paying Microsoft for live subscription so obviously I want them to offer an online experience too.

You were asking for MP on HZD as well (besides QB). It adds value to you but not to others, and for the company it only offers value if it becomes money in the bank, everything else is useless for them.
