Developers
need to consider all types of players, and when on a budget, it's
understandably difficult to accommodate each type. Personally, I
think it is a poor decision to exclude single-player offerings from
any video game. From a business perspective, it seems questionable as
to whether excluding single-players will justify avoiding the
financial investment in developing a single-player campaign. In other
words, if only 30% of the players that buy the game are completing
the single-player campaign, would sales to that 30% compensate for
the investment in the development of the single-player portion of the
game? My concern is that, if developers continue on this path, the
current drive towards multiplayer-only content may alienate those of
us who aren't interested in the online social aspect of video games.
However, maybe the developers are right—perhaps I'm part of a
continually dwindling minority of gamers that prefers the solo
experience. What do you think?
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
