GamesRadar - "I think that model is finished," Electronic Arts Games chief Frank Gibeau told Develop two-years back. He was discussing what he called "fire-and-forget, packaged goods only" or, as they're commonly known as, single-player games. He said that developers needed to continue the connection with players, and that a good method was through some sort of multiplayer component. In one interview, one of the leaders of the second biggest game publisher had signed a death warrant for single-player gaming. People were understandably upset, thinking that the era of single-player was over.

The premium Sony Inzone earbuds are designed for PC and PS5, and they're finally getting a discount after launching in late 2023.
These seems like one of the best options for use with a PS5, high quality sound and design. However, you will likely need a dongle for use with many of your bluetooth devices such as an iPhone as it requires a LE signal.
Paul G Writes: "AFK Journey is a free open-world, role-playing gacha centered on creating your own team of powerful heroes. Here, you play as the reincarnation of the great mage Merlin, solving a mystery surrounding a malignant corruption.
On its surface, AFK Journey's gorgeous visuals, strategic gameplay and dynamic characters promise a wholly fun experience for new and old players alike. Journey even has a very easy pity system that makes getting rare heroes a breeze.
That said, AFK Journey still presents the usual flaws in big gacha entries, including a lack of accessibility features, bad voice direction and predatory microtransactions."
So a few people over reacting justifies an article now?
The simple fact is that many games have needless multiplayer and IN THEORY that effort could have been applied elsewhere. Was Dead Space 2's multiplayer worthless? I think so, others don't, but I doubt many would request that over another hour of campaign or perhaps an online hoard mode if they want to do MP so badly. There will always be exceptions, but plenty of smaller games have completely worthless and ill thought out MP modes that makes this mentality justified.
Frank Gibeau your company sucks at making games. EA blows.
"What great single-player purchase was compromised by multiplayer? Was Dead Space 2 ruined by the Necromorphs vs. Humans battles that most agreed were an absolute blast?"
Dead Space 2 wasn't necessarily compromised by MP (although it was compromised in other ways like constant shooting and linear level design), but the MP certainly felt tacked on and mpost people, didn't care for it.
If it was that great it wouldn't have been cut from 3.
"Necromorphs vs. Humans battles that most agreed were an absolute blast"
