Single players experiences are still enjoyed by millions of gamers across the globe. I think that EA was wrong about the future of the medium regarding MMO lite vs single player. What many people don't realize is that corporations are just interested in profits and they see MMO-lite games such as Destiny, Battlefront, Call of Duty, and GTA Online as proof of increased profit margins. There was never "lack of interest" in the model that comprises the majority of video games.


It's not that they were "wrong," it's that they are full of shite. Multiplayer keeps people coming back to the game, making them more likely to purchase microtransactions for a much longer period of time.

IDK. Multiplayer has a lifespan.

It will lose players and servers through time. Single player is set in stone.

When I am done with a multiplayer game, I am done. I pick up old SP games all the time.
