I'm with Saki on this one. I'm not saying it IS a marketing ploy, but IF it is it's pretty brilliant.
Don't quite understand the overly defensive comments either, he didn't say they don't make great games, he just implied they either have a really good or an insanely good marketing department. Oh, how dare he???
Maybe but recent trends show that the industry is always changing. Just look back a few years ago when F2P and MOBA's were the favored games to release.Multiplayer games sell much better and are more popular, overall ( especially with younger gamers), than pure SP, despite very vocal minority always complaining about it.
Bah you beat me to the answer once again.Its the internet… fake and out of control outrage is the flavor of the year.

They announced MP all the way back in 2013, when they were still a small company and barely anyone knew about them.
Financially/"Hype wise", postponing MP and focusing more on Single Player at launch is actually a bad thing.. gaming forums really are detached from reality when it comes to discussing things like this. ( How many threads we have here on GTA online, PUBS, Ghost Recon, Division, etc)

errr... you mean that when he wrote "I've never seen a company get so much praise for doing nothing" it's really just a fair comment?I just don't understand what he wrote that got people so upset, like he was actually bashing CDPR.

QFT.
Funny how butthurt they get when called out.
You call that calling someone out? No, that's just your typical hit and run style of posting. Drop in a thread, throw out an insulting one liner and leave. High post count, very low contribution. It's your trademark.
I have no problem with people disagreeing with me. Bobo 100% disagreed, but in an informative post that I could respect. Actually had some information I wasn't aware of.
Anyway, I feel this used to be a place to share different ideas and opinions, lately though I feel its a place where Ideas and opinions get ridiculed or need to be constantly defended. Someone here who I respect PM'd me and said they don't feel this place has changed. Maybe he's right, maybe I've changed. Either way posting here has become more frustration than fun and I definitely need to take an extended break, if not just stop posting altogether. To be clear I feel the vast majority of people here are great, (thanks to you) but there is a very vocal minority that I find intolerable especially when certain topics or companies are discussed. Maybe I'm just becoming too soft with age.
Special thanks to the few that PM'd me. I was genuinely appreciative and surprised. Can't say if I'll be back or not. I never say never, but right now I definitely need a long break.
For the life of me I can't figure out the hostility towards adding a fun feature to a video game. This started happening about 2003-2004.

CDPR, marketing genius.
Ive never seen a company get so much praise for doing nothing.
Brilliant, really. Vaguely mention MP, let everyone work themselves in to a frenzy, then come back and say single player is the main focus, which was the plan all along.
Reminds me of the 15 horse armor DLC’s they were praised for giving for free.
Yea, CDPR are heroes, best company ever.lol.
I like CDPR but they are so good at generating praise and favor for doing nothing. Priceless really.
Ive seen some real assholes around here but seriously.
Im done here this place gets worse and worse.
Goodbye everyone.

Calm down and get your arse back here. It's internet man, different people, different tastes, different attitudes and different opinions. You can't love everyone, stick with a few you do. This forum has an ignore option, use it just like I do.Ive seen some real assholes around here but seriously.
