Single Player vs Multi Player in Games

[biglittlesps]

Hello everyone,

  I've noticed a new trend from the gamers recently which is about the Multi player mode in games. When a new game is announced then many gamers are expecting multi player mode even though the game doesn't need due to its nature. So, old days of single player experiences are now turning into an optional mode like multi player was in old days and disappearing slowly because of social aspects which is changing gamers to give up single player over multi player. A game needs to have multi player only if the developers concept requires, but now gamers are forcing them to include multi player. So, developers trying to remove the single mode (which is happening with less content recently in many games and also Single player gamers are failing to sell well) and focusing more on muti player only.

Also everyone forgets that multi player games cannot be played forever like Single player because once the game servers are closed which will be done in average of 5-10 years(it will even less in future). So, we are not buying mutli player games at all and we are just renting them for 5-10 years unlike the old classics of single player which we can play forever. This is another one we need to worry about for future of gaming, because if this continues like this then most of the gamers gets used to multi player and we rarely get single player games to play them offline/forever in future without internet.

What do you think?
