Wait, what?! How can they not contain multiplayer?! It was in the base games! Why would they go through all the trouble to actively remove them?
I never used MP in DS1 and 2.
They used GameSpy for MP, right?
If so - that's middle-ware and I have no clue why they would remove it.
Though, if they put MP back in w/ full-blown Steam-MP support later on, that'd make more sense to me why they removed the original MP.
I find it VERY odd the expansions were left-out, as well...
EDIT:
Yeah,
DS2 used GameSpy for its MP.
