Okay, I know : Because "we" pirate so many games that it really isn't worth to do offline games anymore … *sighs again*
piracy is a factor of course, but I think it's more to do with having 1 million people paying $13-$15/month in addition to buying the boxes. That allows them to make a game much bigger in scope than a normal game
