Well, they failed if they think it'll make us get a PS3. I can give my reasons:
First, I'm not an FPS fan. One of my roommates is... more tolerant of them than I, but he's not really what anyone would call a fan of them.
Secondly, if I buy a game, I should be able to play it whenever. My guess is that with the size of the games and the global market, playing it at 3 AM shouldn't be tough. But, say, 25 years later? If the server's gone, it doesn't matter if it was my favorite game ever, I won't be able to relive the memories and play it any more. Whereas my games that are 25 years old still work fine.
Thirdly, I'm not an online gamer. I prefer having fun locally, with friends. If I can't do that in a game that's designed for multiplayer, then the multiplayer aspect fails to me. Which leaves the single player aspect. MAGs... is non-existant. So I have no way of playing this game that I care for. And this is what I worry about most; if this becomes a trend, I'll move back away from gaming.
