It's optional, what's the problem? It's not even as if multiplayer content is going to lesson the emphasis on the main campaign, since it's being developed at a separate studio. As far as I've seen so far, the foundations of Mass Effect haven't changed at all; they've made additions that are clearly optional, meaning we can play with the same features as we got in the first two.
