You can usually patch it to get it back in most games. I know not many people play local coop on PC, but I personally like it and don't get why they remove stuff that is already programmed.

The sad thing is that it might be the actual reason... Still patching games like borderlands or left for dead is kind of an irritating thing to do.

i mean these companies aren't dumb. they probably do surveys/testing/etc and see what percentage of their pc players are using local features and finding it to be abysmally low.

The obvious answer is that PC gamers aren't buying controllers just to play local coop. Online coop is still available.

I know, but since a minor mod can change it most of the time, it's still in the games data.

Also I am surprised at the insane number of people that I have met that do not know you can play local coop on PC or play with controller. Many console games removed local coop as well. It's one of the main reason I keep encouraging Nintendo's products.

Yeah it's bullshit, RE5 literally had coop cut OUT of it, a simple mod reactivates it
