Yo dawg, I heard you like covers

So I made a cover of your cover
of a cover of my cover

Why can't developers just stick to games that have no multiplayer? I don't get the rampant need for every game that comes out to have a multiplayer option. Whatever happened to just sitting down and playing a game at home without the option for multiplayer? Sure playing a game with friends is nice, but now a mainly stealth games need a multiplayer option as well? I'll most likely get the game, but I can live without multiplayer.
