I was quite intrigued by the article and thinking I'd put this on my wishlist, until I saw "multiplayer", and suddenly all my interest is down the drain.

It feels like some developers are making live service games simply to chase the revenue stream, not because the specific game they are making would actually be better online.

Exactly. Some games are good fits for multiplayer, like Rocket League. And even then, I still like playing offline local MP with bots.

I really wished the bots were better tho. They don't even fly and barely use the walls. Like, you can't even really practice on them once you actually get decent because they aren't even good enough to play the game at a bronze level.

Yeah, but they're good enough for 1v1 or 2v2 with some noise on each side (e.g. 4v4 with bots).
