That is a big step IMO. If hotseat can be implemented so can PBEM and PB. The mechanics behind all these are the same just different framing and timing. At least with hotseat, it can be tested easily and the rest are technicalities. As I understood, this would be a separate feature from regular MP with completely new coding. That is one of the reasons it took so long.

Apparently, they thought that hotseat, PBEM, and PB are not needed at all and their crooked MP will be sufficient. Now they realize they were wrong and are trying to right that.
