“many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only”

So change your design? The corporate mind cannot comprehend this.

Why could you turn a battle royal game into a local only split screen game for 2-4 people?

I tried to pick the most obvious example of an online only title.

What’s the plan with a 100 player battle royal game?

Edit: the guy I replied to chose to quote someone saying a game is online only, and their suggestion was to change that.

And then ya’ll come in with replies about keeping it online only, and they have 55 upvotes as of this edit.

I can find a community for a fighting game from 2012 to get together every Thursday night for a 30-person tournament via Discord. 100 people in a battle royale could work much the same.
