Does it though? If all the players start on relatively equal footing with similar goals where only one can win, does it matter who is in control of the other players?
I will say, this topic also spurred a healthy discussion in my house. In the instance of civ, I firmly believe AI opponents who are playing the same game as you qualify it as inherently multiplayer even when playing alone.
Me either. Multiplayer games have multiple players playing. Wether the thinking is done digitally or organically makes no difference. It is possible to play a multiplayer game alone, that does not make it a single player game
You think when you play a multiplayer modes game alone your suddenly playing a game designed as single player? Just because you can play a multiplayer mode alone doesn’t make it a single player game.

Yes it does.
Riveting rebuttal. Way to explain your reasoning. You won me over /s
I don’t need to argue over what are basic definitions.

Multi player are multiple humans. You’re very wrong about this.
I’ll be sure to pass that along to our AI overlords after the apocalypse
Hold on. You really think that when you play against a CPU you’re playing multiplayer?
Wow

A player is a person.
Nobody plays multiplayer Civ except for a small niche group of people.
You’re simply wrong, that’s all. You can learn you’re incorrect and accept that knowledge. Or you can continue to reply with wrong statements.
Either way, have a good one.
Well I hope you continue to enjoy playing a multiplayer game alone with the computer
