what is even the point of making a taxi game MMO? just so you can see other players driving fares around you and potentially fucking your shit up?

Exactly, like gta online probably

but at least inGTA you can have PvP and Co-op… what is the PvP or co-op play in driving taxi fares?

You can be an obnoxious passenger threatening 1 star reviews, the driver has an ult calling a wellness check on you

You can now get the experience of being aggresively tailed in a game too!

I mean, both forza horizon and the crew exists and are successful, so multiplayer open world driving is a thing people like, I just don't think how they can put Crazy Taxi on it without diluting the gameplay.

Those are racing games, not Taxi games. Of course racing games are a perfect fit for online PvP. But you're not racing against other players while driving a taxi fare.
