it's the dependencies. you can only play an online mp game online with multiple players.
1. the game sells like shit
2. the community moved on
3. the developer no longer wants to pay for the servers
4. the online infrastructure sucks
any of these can make your game unplayable. it just feels like a risk to me that i'm not often willing to take. i'm waiting to see if everyone else buys it first which means i just never buy.
also the ones on consoles this gen feel low on content. the mp only games have as much online content as a game like halo or uncharted that also comes with a single player campaign. if you are going to be mp only i think you need to have more online content than the sp/mp combo games if you are still going to charge $60.
