I don't wish it would disappear, but I wish it wasn't mandatory for every game to have some lame online component...and I also wish online multiplayer wasn't removing the need for split-screen play. One of the worst thing about online gaming is that almost no games are split-screen anymore.

Another bad thing about consoles being online is it lets developers be lazy. They can put out a half-assed product and then fix it later with patches. Patches are a great thing, don't get me wrong, but when a game is completely broken (Skyrim PS3 version) and only becomes playable after patches then it's pretty ridiculous.

This, this, this x3.

Glad you agree! I used to love going to friend's houses or having friends over to play some split screen games like Timesplitters, Killzone, NHL, Halo, etc. But now you can't do that sort of thing. Such a shame.

The problem is mainly focused on the HD consoles. The Wii has many games that can be played over splitscreen. You would think that the HD consoles with all their power could do this easily, but no...

Yeah good point! It is funny how the least powerful console provides the most fun when it comes to having friends over to play games. 

I totally agree with all that is being said here.  I enjoy online gaming as much as the next guy, but when it is the main mode of the game that is shameful.
