It's cool how you can be providing the labor for a company and then that company gets bought by another company and the shareholders who don't actually make the thing get rich and then you get fired because the other company has a bad year even though the thing you labored for is incredibly successful.

Tangentially, I haven't played in ages but they should have made it local coop so we can have fun on the courses without having to play through the same few opening courses and deal with lobbies.

Yeah, them deciding that no stage is sacred and not allow for any offline or private play was extremely frustrating and made it so that I just lost the ability to give a shit at all about the game

Custom lobbies (i.e. the exact feature you're asking for) were launched in December 2020, in beta mode, then March 2021 to everyone. So the feature you wanted has been there for over 2.5 years.

It's always fascinating to me to see highly rated comments that are pretty out of touch with the actual subject matter.

To me it just shows that they made the change far too late for anyone to even notice. It's not reasonable to be a subject matter expert in every game one's ever played.

Exactly this, I see this a lot in the Joe Rogan..."I bet you haven't watched all his shows, so how can you say you don't like him" you should'nt need to know everything in detail to form an opinion

How does a custom lobby relate to local coop? And how does it help in getting to play selected courses?
