Well I could say 'I told you so', but I'm above that.

I blame it on Rockstar's cheapness. They sold out man, they sold out.

maybe there was no mp planned at all in the first place.
Kinda like how they had no mp planned for soul calibur II, but gamers went rumor crazy when they saw E3 shot of Xbox SC2 and Xbox live written underneath it.

Do you know how gangs work?
The first GTAs in the series both included multiplayer, and there's an unofficial GTA3 for PC mod which enables multiplayer via some "hidden" code (they had it disabled)"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Which is exactly what I originally said. Rockstar had no plans for multiplayer for GTA3 or Vice City. The 'hidden' code was never meant to be turned on. Asher, however, insisted that Microsoft was paying Rockstar huge money so GTA3 could be an X-Box live title and of course it'd be multiplayer. Nope..

There's that mod for the PC ports of GTA3/VC for MP. Its still beta, but it works from what I hear.Comment

And since just enabling it makes it fairly functional, it smells like politics to me...

Taking a page from Infogrames, they'll have MP on an expansion.
The exapnsion will just be a txt file on the CD, with the MP activation code.
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Because they probably used some PC code stuff from prior GTA's (at least minimally), which did have multiplayer. Since they never intended MP, they crippled it.
Of course, in the end, they still did not offer multiplayer on the X-Box version... and won't offere multiplayer until, at least, GTA4 comes out.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

This is complete nonsense, Imran. There's no way they could have "holdover" code from GTA3 for MP and then have it suddenly work in GTA3 by turning it on...Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

FYI, GTA3 isn't based on GTA2's engine, which would've been obvious to anyone who played both games.
The code was added to the GTA3 engine, fairly complete and working code I may add, that was shipped disabled for whatever reason. Sony has been known to give Rockstar oodles of cash for certain things before, so why is it so out of the question for them to pay Rockstar to keep GTA's multiplayer disabled until it can become the killer app for PS2 Online with GTA4.
As I said, it smells of politics..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
