Yager, the developers of the Single Player of the game, have been outwardly spoken about their displeasure about the inclusion of multiplayer in the game, developed by an external team, being forced into the game by 2K Games.
Cory Davis, lead designer of the game, has gone so far as to say that it "sheds a negative light on all of the meaningful things we did in the single-player experience." He has also referred to the multiplayer as "another game rammed onto the disk like a cancerous growth", that is was "tacked on", "low-quality", "bullshit", "should not exist", and "tossed out the creative pillars of the product".
