The debate should not revolve around single-player, but rather about the extent to which people were able to foresee this misadventure. To profess evidence exists in the form of a beta is foolish, considering it is not suggestive of advancements over time at all. Evidence are facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid, not some vaguely subjectified opinion on whether the beta was enjoyable or not. Your other argument is not very convincing either. A small studio has slowly and gradually grown into a reasonably sized enterprise, over the course of 10 years, so what? This is by no means convincing evidence at all, but merely a factor that could carefully hint at potential problems. The point still stands and you have yet to provide "proper" arguments which I doubt you will be able to provide. The level of reference purchasers of this franchise can use is simply too limited. Firms with a longer history can be checked more thoroughly based on previous performance.
