Can anyone clarify whether this multiplayer aspect is optional? Is there a way to play the game in a truly singleplayer mode without a crippled metagame economy? I was super excited for this game but if they're shoving multiplayer in my face I'm not so sure I'll buy it.

As such it contains an AI-run (and thus unborked) version of the animal market. Props to Frontier for adding the latter in response to player requests during the beta – if they hadn’t have done, this situation would have been more irritating.

I know this is technically a negative but it actually really makes me want to play now!
