I wouldn't rush to that conclusion, a lot of this just sounds like PR speak to me still. We have yet to actually see what the campaign looks like, then you have statements like these:

“We don’t use a stick, but rather a carrot, to get people on board with multiplayer”

If the devs are respecting both kinds of players & working to create a worthwhile experience for all types of players, why would they incentivize mp whatsoever? There's nothing in the Uncharted games that even asks players to try out the mp, its an option there for anyone who so chooses. If the devs are actively trying to get sp gamers to journey into the mp realm, it sounds like they know that the solo campaign may not be satisfying in & of itself and in order for gamers to get a satisfying experience, they'd have to journey to the mp area where the main focus seems to lie.

I'd love to be wrong here, but even this article's writer tried to contact the devs to get a better idea as to whether or not there is some kind of worthwhile campaign & he's gone ignored so far. Doesn't sound good to me. I'm all for mp only games, they have as much right to exist as sp only games, its when devs & publishers try to goad sp gamers to picking up a game that they know may be an unsatisfying experience for them that I take issue. Its happened time & time again this gen already.

Same here. I'm primarily a singleplayer now. The Division sounded it offered something for everyone but I'm still waiting confirmation whether it will fully embrace a true singleplayer experience, i.e offline play.

"They still haven’t said yet if the game will offer and offline experience, but based on the amount of stuff going on behind the scenes, as noted in the previous paragraph, I don’t see an offline mode being a possibility." Yup, not really excited for the possibility...

I'm not against mp options but they are creeping more and more into sp games. Most of them ruined the sp experience they're supposed to "enhanced". MGSV: The Phantom Pain has parts of its sp items locked behind online feature-wall, you need to play the online portions to get the extra resources. Just Cause 3's performance issues is partly caused by the online leaderboard feature that kept trying to reach its servers.

Same here. After working all day I don't want to be social, I just want to get immersed in a game world by myself.

You can play destiny by yourself. Obviously you can't do strikes or raids by yourself (actually you can do strikes alone if you don't get matched with anyone) because they are designed for team work. All the main storey line and a lot of the post storey quest can be done by yourself.

Edit:
I wouldn't recommend buying destiny purely to play by yourself though if you're paying full price of course because, as it's a multiplayer focused game, it's longevity comes from playing with others.

Is Ubisoft Bungie? Is the Division Destiny?

That's not lying it couldn't run like it was shown on consoles so they had to downgrade it, it happens to a lot of games.

It's definitely online only, no offline portion whatsoever from what's been said.

Yeah, while its possible to play destiny by yourself (storey content anyway), it's a better experience when playing with people because that's how it was designed. You never know, maybe the division storey content is more fleshed out and more in line with what you would expect from any other storey focused game.
