I wasn't intending to reply anymore, but now I will anyway.

You were nitpicking about a pair of buttons on the main menu, acting like it was some kind of totally confusing mystery.

I said you must be new to the Internet because you seemed to believe it would not be confusing to only have one "New Game" option, and despite all evidence to the contrary, people would intuitively grasp how to start a multiplayer game.

I have seen various "how do I do XXX" threads on this forum, on the Steam forum, and questions on the in-game chat, and if you don't think people would get confused and ask "how do I start multiplayer", you truly must be new to the Internet. I fully stand by that comment.

And yet, I suggest that a new player (which you yourself are painting as borderline incompetent) might also be be apprehensive when faced with the prompts of "singleplayer" and "multiplayer". Why? Because they're not going to know exactly how those options alter the game (a setting you yourself and several others in this thread did not understand). Sure, it seems obvious at first glance - a singleplayer game is singleplayer and a multiplayer game is multiplayer - except that's NOT what those options actually do. All they do is modify your Options > Multiplayer setting, and the change is not permanent (another misconception).

I also add that "even if it's to let players know the game can be played either way, isn't there a better way to get that information across..".. your response is "who cares".

So, I fully stand by my statement when I refer to your comment and say "That doesn't help. That doesn't set threads down the right path.". I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take responsibility for you making the choice to respond to an innocent comment with snark. Nobody forced you to respond, and nobody forced you to respond in that manner. And that's not the first time I've seen you do this. I'm sorry if you felt my concern wasn't worth caring about, but that's your opinion, and that's really one of those times where you should be following that old adage about "if you can't say anything nice.."
