Normally, I hate MP, and it ruins SP games. But not always. I'm going with the GTA crowd here with my suspicions. I bet they're going the GTA route, which really didn't affect the SP in that game.
No.
Sure, as CDR Projekt failed to developp their own PR model, they are trying to hijack Rockstar's.
But Rockstar never hid their MU features, they publicized them and they hyped them.
CDR Projekt rode the wave of the mass hysteria big, bad corps are killing SP, big, bad corps want SP dead. CDR Projekt were pictured as the last stronghold, the last hope.
Then the news about CP 2077 and its MU features was leaked to test waters.
And the planning of releases was scheduled to give an exit to all players who were chanting death to big, bad corps, they want SP dead, long live CDR Projekt, the last saviour of mankind.
Nothing to do with Rockstar's behaviour.
The conclusion is foregone once again: The unshaking players support to SP is going to morph into they do not mind MU as long as it is done the CDR Projekt way.
Big, bad corps should learn from CDR projekt the right way to support SP gaming.
