What happened to multiplayer?

Multiplayer gaming was taken off Oni a while ago (approx. late 1999), and announced at MacWorld San Francisco 2000. The reasons for this were that making levels for net games would delay Oni even more and due to latency issues TCP/IP multiplayer was not going to be in Oni anyway.LAN multiplayer also reportedly caused problems. There may be an add-on released by Gathering of Developers (who acquired rights to Oni via Take 2 Interactive as a result of Microsoft buying Bungie in June 2000) that could at least enable LAN multiplayer and possibly internet gameplay.
