It’s definitely a trash reason, but you fail to see through the corpospeak.
by saying “because it’s a coop game” doesn’t explain why it’s not a priority. What are they more focused on that is more important than a nearly 1 year old promise (at the time)? The reason they put on this smokescreen is because they know that if they said “We’re not working on solo mode because we’re making a worse version of weaves and a wave based mission type that no one wanted” we’d say “yeah, but what about all these other things you said would be in the game?” Proving once and for all, that Fatshark is so disconnected from its community that they may as well be making games for Martians.
Which is mostly the point of my crusade. At this point, I’m convinced we’ll never see Solo Mode (and Fatshark will never see another penny out of me), but the fact that they consistently get away with the “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” schtick is bullcrap. We have to hold them accountable for not just solo mode, but earnable aquilas, new classes/subclasses, new weapons, and the many other promises that have conveniently been “forgotten” about.
