Regarding Single Player Games vs Multiplayer games, I am the absolute opposite of you it seems.
Multiplayer games are nothing more than a redundant social experiment to me. If I felt the need to interact through a game with other people I'd get a board game like Chess and I would play it with people being actually in front of me. Mutliplayer online is nothing more than an extension of this paradigm.
Whereas Single Player video gaming is intrinsically speaking original and logic. Playing against the computer is a challenge specific to this day and age of electronics and computers, you don't need an actual person if you are challenged by an AI and if sociability is what you seek then you play against people that are actually in front of you. But playing on a machine online against people is nothing more than an extension of the social gaming activity paradigm of past generations. It's a choice I guess but not mine.
I can't even say that multiplayer games are dead to me since they were never alive to begin with.
