I mean, this is a pretty fuckin stupid thing, them making this no-friends. But I sure dunno about this take. We didn't even know this multiplayer existed until the last direct, were you holding out for a multiplayer mode from before then? Was the core setup of the original not the main draw? I don't think anyone expected online multiplayer from this game in the first place, so not buying because it's not fully-featured in that realm feels like a pretty bad-faith argument, unless its announcement was the only thing that attracted you to it in the first place. Which I guess could be the case.
