The Fight For The Future Of Video Games is a warts-and-all look at the clashes between the video game business and its passionate fans.
Single-player is a much less reliable model than it used to be. The idea seems to be that multiplayer games allow players to keep playing indefinitely, putting more time into the title, and these days hopefully sinking money into map packs or microtransactions. Very, very few games these days are entirely reliant on single-player. Even Bloodborne, arguably the best single-player campaign of the year, injected elements of multiplayer including summoning allies to fight with or against. Grand Theft Auto V had a traditional single-player campaign, but it was eventually supplanted by enduring support for GTA Online, the multiplayer component of the game. The Elder Scrolls’ next installment turned the game into an MMO with The Elder Scrolls Online. No campaign, just online multiplayer alone.Īnd most surprising of all, we’ve seen traditionally single player series dive deep into multiplayer trend. After that, we’ve seen many fully priced $60 multiplayer-only titles from Titanfall to Evolve to Battlefront.
