Quoting the producer on NeoGAF and other sources, the PC version will have 4 player splitscreen local play, but not any sort of online play. (I guess at this point, theres no LAN play either)
 
“Truth is we did look at online support, be it GFW or some other method,” Lycett said. “When we looked into the cost vs the projected sales, the two didn’t add up. So as a result the feature wasn’t added to the game. One of the main reasons is that on PC people will steal it rather than buy it.”
 
So dont bother buying the game on Steam. That tidbit of 8 player online play is actually FALSE.

This is why PC gaming is dead.

" So dont bother buying the game on Steam. "

Such a travesty.

Well no one is going to buy it now.
No MP no £

Shit, sorry old thread

Is "whines like a bitch" really the right phrase to describe admitting that there's a shrinking market wherein either your game is pirated beyond being profitable or you're crucified for putting DRM in your game? Lycett wasn't whining, he was being a realist. "
