Oh no... the biggest assholes in the universe are threatening to avoid these games... whatever will we do? Who is going to call people racial slurs over multiplayer now?
- SF is single player only.
  
  Yeah Ok, but there are message boards and mod communities and social media. Anytime bigots voluntarily remove themselves from the conversation is a win.
  
  They don't though. Look at the Steam forums. Lots of accounts not owning the game are pushing their garbage rage bait every day.
  
  Saw some steam discussions about Homefront: The Revolution (was only interested in it for the TimeSplitters 2 rom in the game) about how people think this is exactly how China will invade the US. I'm sitting here like "...no."
  
  For now. It's possible it can go multiplayer though like Skyrim and Morrowind through 3rd party apps/mods. I currently host a for fun pop up multiplayer Morrowind server using tes3mp. Skyrim has a similar 4 person co-op mod.
  
  Not the way it is relevant for the point he was trying to make.
