Off The Rails – Multiplayer is Ruining Games

Jason from XboxInsider writes: "My rant tonight is actually a related one too: how many games have shithouse multiplayer.

My problem isn’t with games having multiplayer per se, it’s more of how it’s shoehorned into games; partially due to ridiculous demand, partially due to ridiculous needs from developer ‘higher ups’. Why do they something so silly as adding multiplayer to a game that doesn’t really need it? Well, that’s where you come in, and shame on you it is! The executive devils are only following what is demand, and it’s players such as yourselves (maybe not you specifically) that have called for multiplayer, constantly whining that a single player package isn’t a ‘whole game’. So they add it to appease you; and you know what? Nine times out of ten, it’s really average (and I use that term very loosely)."
