None. First off, I wanna actually own my PC where with modern multiplayer titles, a shady game publisher would effectively take ownership of my PC and tell me what I can and can't run on it via rootkit DRM, if I wanna rent my hardware, I'd rather just get a console, I wanna own my PC that I built, and not give up ownership to some shady game publisher; Riot or Activision or whoever didn't build my PC, I did, and two, most multiplayer servers aren't exactly the best place to kill time in terms of hostility.
Single-player by contrast, at least for now, generally doesn't use rootkit DRM and so it can run on whatever I wanna run it on, and it's just me against an enemy AI with no one calling me -insert assortment of slurs here- because I messed up in some way or because I outmatched them.
*No, kernel-level anticheats technically aren't DRM, but they're functionally rootkit DRM, so they count to me.
You .. know most multiplayer games don't use kernal level stuff right? And are also happy connecting peer 2 peer etc? You don't have to play AAA slop fest PvP stuf!
