Mobile games multiplayer opponents

May just be bots.

In fact a lot of online gaming may be bots.

Why?

Because simple AI can copy their gameplay style of the real opponent and keep them playing for well after the user has ceased playing. Clash of clans etc.  None of the users may be real.  All they need is a list of user names in various languages and a gameplay style.....

....it's what I did in one of my multiplayer games...used the list of users from another game I'd made as opponents for instant userbase.

No different than online dating when a new platform rolls out...
