Online not evloving on consoles at all, I can fathom. That ONLY online multiplayer would not arise is simply insane. You can't make guesses or assumptions about a premise that is fundamentally irrational. It's like posing the question of "what if people never drank water?" |
The Wii seems to have done well without online multiplayer evolving.
I haven't played online on the WiiU yet either, games seem to work fine without.
Anyway without digital distribution, instead of season passes, small DLC expansions, map packs, car packs, hat packs, we would still have worthy disc based expansions that add 30 hours to the game.
More indie games would have disc based releases. After being succesful on PC compilation discs would make it to consoles. Maybe we would still have games magazines sold with discs full of demos and indie games.
The AA game would not face extinction. With money not going to online passes, DLC, map packs, online fees etc to support the few big titles that are played year round, more people might be inclined to try some new games.
Games shops would be doing a lot better and not need to milk the 2nd hand market to stay alive.
