    AND? DID IT NOT SUCCEED? Maybe GW wouldn't have been the defining feature if it hadn't actually been funded.

    Yes but that doesn't mean it's suddenly centre stage.

    It does, because GW & spherical maps are the only 2 revolutionary things this game can do over any other.
    Both SP and MP GW was promised, and, quite frankly, I wouldn't mind of MP GW was introduced alongside a reworked SP GW. The point is that GW is one of the most important features of the game, and it's being hardcore neglected because the shitter community thought ladder was more important.

    No, it doesn't. What's revolutionary or not is completely irrelevant. Uber concentrated on making an RTS that derived its longevity from multiplayer. That's what they set out to do. The fact that they made enough money to cobble together any sort of single player experience is a happy accident.

    Where are you pulling this 90% number from?

    90% of games prior to offline server were logged as single player - that number has doubtlessly gone up since offline server, since people who don't have access to the internet regularly can now play the game.

    Didn't even bother to link to a specific post. Good job.

    In any case, it doesn't mean that these people only play singleplayer. And to go back to your point about "representing the majority", the most requested feature is the ability to save your game. Ergo, you do not represent the majority.

    No, because the majority of players aren't even making any ******* requests.

    Who are the people requesting this feature? the same people who are the vocal minority on the forums. The same way that ladder was their most requested feature, even though a solid 90% of players simply don't care about it.

    That's a pretty big assumption. Like I said before, even if 90% of logged games are singleplayer, that doesn't mean those players only player singleplayer nor does it mean that they don't care about multiplayer. And you've been banging on about how the MP-obsessed people are "ruining the game" by demanding ladders and other MP support and now you're excusing them of begging for a singleplayer feature? You don't even get points for consistency.

    They're not ruining anything, just delaying more important features.

    If you say so. Anyway I'm off to do something where I can actually make some progress. You know like argue the finer points of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics with a wall. Bye!
