This is true, but as the game automatically logs you in on boot up, everyone online is logged into the chat lobby. You have to manually log out when playing solo rounds in one of the pre-round screens if you want to be removed from the lobby, and how many players do that, see a need to, or even know they can, or how to do it?
There is no option in the settings to disable the log-in and the next time you boot up the game you're logged in again, so apart from a very few in-the-know, paranoid JNPG players, my statement was correct!
Lemme see if I've got this right... if I boot the game up, never go into the multiplayer lobby and go into tournaments, I will still show up as player in the lobby list? To prevent this from happening, I would have select lobby at the outset and then exit right back out of it after it loaded up, and go back to the tournament menu to avoid showing up as a player in the multiplayer lobby?
