If multi-platform is truly the issue holding back MP (which I'm not convinced, but let's say it for the sake of argument), I'd love to know the correlation between MP users and Mac users. I'd be willing to bet there's FAR more potential customers interested in MP than those who need the game on a Mac platform.
And the simple fact that this thread has had over 70+ posts in the 72 hours since Andreas made his original comment should be hard evidence that more than just a "small minority" of people are upset by this. There isn't a thread anywhere about this game that has seen that kind of activity.
I've never seen a company give a full-on slap in the face to an entire group of their potential customers as the mods and devs have here by saying that the MP community is "totally replaceable". Can you imagine if Apple put out a new iPad that was unable to connect to wifi? "Those wifi users don't represent our entire audience so we won't add that feature until later, they're totally replaceable anyway, we're not worried about them".
