If devs want to make an alternative to CoD, they need to make a fun single player FPS first and make a small but fun multiplayer component.

The problem is that publishers see the dollar signs from CoD and Fortnite and want to make a MP scam game without realizing that gamers only want to be scammed by Fortnite and CoD because they were actually fun before they became a scam.
