Good job killing the MP community Capcom. I'm not going to spend the $30 for a game with added MP features (the MP community of this game is 100% dead), and very minimal SP features.

OK for people buying the game for the SP for the first time though.

I kept wondering this(was hoping it wouldn't be 360 only). Thanks for confirmation Capcom and Manager.

1. Lost Planet doesn't have as big, open areas as MMOs
2. MMOs have to deal with having 50-100+ players in an area (not all of them, but most)
3. PC MMOs have to handle low specs or they can't expect many subscribers
