Why is there a bias against MP only games?

The main thing I dislike about them (aside from not being a fan of online multiplayer generally) is that the game is completely at the whim of the community and the developers. If a community ditches the game or decides that they just want to spend their time doing bizarre things (see Smash Bros Brawl taunt parties), then the game becomes suddenly sucky.

My favorite game is Mega Man 2. Unless my NES breaks, my Wii breaks, my DS breaks, my PS2 breaks, all roms are scrubbed from the internet, and all physical replacements are destroyed, I'll always be able to experience that game again. Not sure if I'll be able to play splatoon in 25 years in a meaningful way.

At least Splatoon still has a single-player campaign that you can play with Cemu and pirated ROMs (albeit a short 5-10 hour one)...as well as local multiplayer.

The instant Activision Blizzard decides their game is no longer making them money.....poof! It's like Overwatch never existed in the first place.

Multiplayer-only games such a shame...they completely fuck up our artform for future generations.

Sure they're great at release, but that very quickly becomes problematic over the long run.
