Forbidden_Darkness of n4g.com has written an article on multiplayer gaming and whether or not every game needs a multiplayer mode. Go to the source for the full article.

From Uncharted to Assassins Creed getting multiplayer, it’s a sure sign of the future. Publishers and Developers alike are thinking multiplayer is what makes a game a buy or pass. If they don’t have it, people won’t buy their games, at least that’s what their minds come too. Their putting less effort into the stories and more time into the online, or just tacking on a multiplayer mode (when they could be polishing/adding more to the game) just to try and get more sales, without understanding that not every game needs multiplayer to sell millions. Just look at Fallout, Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, Bioshock and more, they all sold over a million and they are great games without any multiplayer at all.

Could you even imagine games like God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake and ect. with a multiplayer component? (If you can, just please stop right there, because games like those don’t need to be ruined with multiplayer).
