In a word: yes. In a few more words: yes, and the future is already here. In a lot of words:
When people ask "Is (product/service/phenomenon) the future?" they usually mean to imply that there is a boundary to be crossed, past which things will no longer be the same as they once were. A classic example: Is VHS the future? Yes, it certainly turned out to be, because for those of you who may be too young to remember, VHS and Betamax were in a video cassette format war, and VHS came out on top, much in the same way that Blu-ray has ousted HD DVD as the new hi-def disc of choice.
However, in the context of online gaming, there is no either/or choice to make. Rather, what we're seeing is a simple add-on to the games that already exist. So instead, what's being asked here is probably "Will every future game be played online?" And the answer to that is ... maybe.
EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

i would say so but online needs to go futher than a load of people running around killing each other, dying, repsporning etc we need some good long campaigns what arent p1ss easy when there are mutilple people doing it
The idea of online gaming makes me sad and happy. I have loved me some online games . . . but when I played MGS4 this year, I couldn't help but think how awesome of a game that was and how it was so nice to just be completely immersed in a world away from all the yelling, screaming, cheating, and rankings of online games.
To just sit back, relax, play, and enjoy was awesome.
but it certainly is, that is what makes Home so interesting, that Arcade Room feeling you get.
it's the here and now, it seems.
it's good to have it since it's the rage these days, but i feel bad for games of the past that didn't need to have an online component and was still great.
if a game was suppose to have an online component, then sure, that's fine,
but games without it shouldn't be looked at as outcasts and graded poorly because they lack it.
throwing in an online component where it doesn't make sense just isn't right.
DO NOT WANT.
