Bingo, and fwiw, I wasn't trying to be harsh, just factual. I'm part of that community, and I do want MP for myself. I mean, I have faith in Jim/Andreas/Chris/Markus/etc., but I don't expect they'll hit the Holy Grail of AI Awesomeness that causes me to cut back or drop MP in this release, either, so I'm probably gonna want to stick around in MP.

what good is the addition of MP if the game is buggy or unstable?
They've promised a game in 2018, and they don't have unlimited resources. If it doesn't happen in 9.0, my strong assumption would be that it's simply because they didn't have time to add it *and* get the nuts and bolts right.
