So your theory is that you as a gamer are ok with just Casual and Shooter games because those sell the best?  I can't see any reason someone would go against variety like that. 

Lastly, do you play sales?  Does many many people buying the same game you bought make it more fun or better?  Should I have enjoyed SotC less than I enjoyed GTA IV because it sold worse?


Big marketshare makes money, period.  It's only rational that game devs and companies will prioritize high yield stuff like that first.

I see the traditional single player game becoming a niche genre in the future.  People are naturally social, games are just catching up to this.

Gimped single player tacked onto a multi-player game just to make it a big selling social networking game. Meh. Hardcore gamers who would become alienated and lose interest in gaming. Casual gamers are more into the multi-player/social networking offered by online only games.

Developers may as well stick to low budget casual online games to maximise their sales and profit margins.
