Serious Sunday: The Loneliest Lobby - Reiterating the risks of the multiplayer-only game
2This week, on Serious Sunday, Luke offers a minor addendum to this week's ThursDev talk about the rise of the Asymmetrical horror game, by talking a little bit about some of the risks of the multiplayer-only game from the perspective of the player and the developer alike: Dead lobbies, server shutdowns and gunshy customers. He also talks about how a single player or test game mode can save a multiplayer game.

Serious Sunday is a freeform roundtable discussion between the members of the Level 0 NPCs, where a specific topic is pre-selected by the group to be explored and discussed at length. Each of the NPCs approach the topic from both the perspective of a seasoned, die-hard gamer, and as creators of games themselves. Part freeform review, part critical analysis, part video game book club, Serious Sunday is where the NPCs take a step back and take a moment to give a serious look at something that is important to the industry, or games in general.
