I don't necessarily have anything against MP, but it does make me more worried about the development of the SP component of this game. The existence and eventual popularity of GTA:O was the cause for GTA V having the worst SP in the entire series.
Since this game is an RPG (is it still an RPG?), the SP should obviously be the absolute main priority of the development team, not the potential cash cow that MP could be. There are still a few months to go before the release, so they might be able to pull it off successfully, but I've seen quite few cases of SP franchises trying to have a MP mode and the eventual SP suffered for it.
I'm sure these will be the concerns of quite a few people out there upon hearing this news. My main point was that CDPR need to address all of these topics properly to instill confidence in their fanbase.
I've also seen you rabidly defending this game the past couple of days. Take a breather.
But, the path they are taking contradicts your concern. They are actively delaying multiplayer til some future date, so they CAN deliver a good single player game. How would you rather see them handle it? Scrap MP completely?
I agree that it would be nice if CDPR wsa more active in addressing some of these concerns, but at the same time I don't really blame them. They can't win, even when delivering news to address something people were angry about (no multiplayer for example) it just becomes yet another reason for people to bash them. ANYTHING they say gets twisted, misread, misunderstood or deliberately misrepresented.
And yes, don't worry this is still an RPG even though people are calling it a shooter in an attempt to manufacture more outrage.
Even game description in steam says it's action adventure, not RPG
