  MP game = instapass.
  
  How about we get a cool single player puzzle game with a narrative (Squid game prequel would be cool or maybe a sequel like we got with Riddick)? Why throw away cool IP on a dumb MP game that will be free on epic games store in 6 months and no one will play?

    yeah everyone knows singleplayer is where the money is at, especially for an IP based around a group of humans competing with each other in a game
