People won't insult me while playing online :(
On a serious note, there has to be a balance between online and single player. We are reaching the point where developers consider that if the game doesn't have online the game won't sell, and unfortunately this has become somewhat true, but really great games have sold well without the need of online (Like Bioshock Infinite). Devs nowadays focus waaay to heavily on online and are leaving the single player behind, making the games average at best.
Not every game needs online, but developers don't think that way.
As a personal opinion, I really don't play online all that much. For me single player will always top online. That's why I prefer games to be either completely online focus (L4D, TF2, Dota, etc) or completely single player.
