I'm a single-player first, co-op second, multiplayer third kind of guy. And in terms of multiplayer, I tend to gravitate toward local multiplayer. So if online multiplayer becomes a more significant part of the video game landscape, at the expense of deep, engaging single-player experiences, I will be disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, there are some great games that focus on online multiplayer -- Left 4 Dead, Unreal Tournament, Quake III, Halo 3, Gears of War, World of Warcraft, etc. -- and plenty of local multiplayer greats like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart. But, for me, nothing beats a great single-player game.
