This girl has it right. Why do all the new console games seem to have multi-player as the default? Maybe I play games to ESCAPE human interaction. twitter.com/THEKarlaPacheco/st

@ksonney AAA games are stupidly expensive to make these days. Gotta do everything you can to make enough of a profit to be worth the huge investment, and multi-player's where the money is. Sure, you can sell people DLC for a single-player. But you can't sell anywhere NEAR as many virtual hats. And who's gonna open lootboxes for a skin in a single-player experience?

I mean I'm sure not gonna play any of these multi-player things either. I prefer video games to be an onanistic experience. I'm not happy about this change either.
