I just do not like online Multiplayer games. Couch-Coop is fine, i love playing with my wife.
But the main problem of online gaming is the online community. The PR talk is trying to make us believe that online is the future. But I think it is just easier to develop an online game mode than a true singeplayer game, where you have to write a story, develop interesting characters and put much effort into the level design. A singleplayer game has to have a soul that keeps you interested... Online multiplayer mode rely on the fact that you only need a competitive mode.
Online gaming ... to cope with cheating, quitting and people that insult you via headset because they feel safe and anonymous while they are online.
How come that Software companies often tell us that their new technology are revolutionizing the world... Sure, the dotcom-bubble lead to a severe economic crisis. Ok, social Media is the next big thing?... Web2.0 is the next big fail. Facebook, groupon and zynga destroyed around $ 60.000.000.000 of stock value since their IPO.
How many games really sold more copies due to online multiplayer modes? I dont know, but I know some games where the mulitplayer rooms were deserted soon after launch and you had to boost the online trophies.
