EA boss proudly refuses to publish single-player games - single-player on the way out?

As long as I don't have to pay extra, I don't care.

Some games are meant for solo experiences and I only play that. The last couple Assassin's Creed games had multi-player, I did not play it at all. Just beat the game and moved on.

If anything I'd prefer local multi-player in the same style as Goldeneye, but for some reason they focus on online matches and no local. bleh.

Not missed much, thats one of the worse multiplayer modes I've played. It was ok in Brotherhood but got boring and frustrating quite quickly. In Revelations you couldn't even choose a playlist but got stuck with whatever game you landed in.

Only time I've played a single-player focused game that has had a good multiplayer alongside it was Mass Effect 3. Although the horde-mode variant gets quite repetitive its still quite adicitive and the link the the single-layer isn't bad. That said, EA previous multiplayer tack-on (Dead Space 2) just showed why this approach is wrong, people hate online passes enough as it is.
