Not sure why the author makes a big deal about the game being single player.

Because the majority of capital in the games industry is currently being thrown behind MP-primary/only Games As A Service experiences, and aside from a select few Sony studios, most AAA development is moving away from Single-player

I’ve really been getting into Sony Studio titles lately, and I hope they continue their trend of pushing games to Steam as PC ports!
