I like multiplayer because it connotes games and games have worked so hard at this and done so well. Our goal is to be as good as games.
But I get your argument too. Naming is hard.
- zharknado 3y agoI think multiplayer is a good name for a different reason. I think it’s a clear and accessible metaphor for how people will interact, i.e. by concurrently working toward a shared goal with a coherent shared state. I don’t think it trivializes the goal or the work being done, it just distinguishes it from parallel non-coordinated use. Also, players are not just for games; the Bard had some thoughts on that. ;)
