Coding for online is probably a long process, though I abandoned my coding ways after throwing a weight through my wall during a late night coding session for my grade 11 project, so I wouldn't know from experience.
However, online does add replayability and extends the life of a game, provided it is done well. In general, that is what multiplayer does, and online allows those with no social skills or friends to join in with those who do and have a rousing game of... whatever. Neccesary? No, but good, almost always.
