But once they started selling them to the mass market they called them
SUV's and installed seat warmers.

It's a marketing term used to hype the product. Audience don't just want
multiple players they want MASSIVELY multiple players. They don't just
want their games online, they want them to Persist online even when they
arn't.

I agree with all the point as to how they're the same game, but I doubt
the publisher will start labling their million dollar projects MUDs.
