Yeah! Offline gaming isn't cool people. EA decide to tell us this after making so much cash out of us from it. And to call those customers w****rs on top of it. That's rich.

While it may not mean much to them, perhaps they should have a bit more respect for their customers.

Sure, some online gaming is cool, but some of it is also crap, just like anything in life (how many online games have folded before reaching shop shelves?). Some people can't afford to be online, but do they really deserve to be called such because of it. I think not.

I refer the discussion to the awful and formulaic multi-player and online elements of most action adventure type games that are designed to be single-player. Crap death matches.

Can you imagine online, multi-player Shadow of the Colossus? Neither can I!

How about God of War? More plausible, but still would be either death match or "kill more bad guys than your opponent" competitions.

Some games are just meant to be played single-player, offline, maybe with spectators.

Based on this, I've decided that watching a movie must be the equivalent of simply reading a porn magazine. Reading a book, then, must be the quivalent of just thinking about porn. Thinking about porn in real life must be equivalent to being totally innocent in gaming!

In reality, it's more like if computer games is like sex, multiplayer games is like dirty group orgies.

In fact, might as well ditch computer games altogether, and simply have sex all the time! Don't let the hassle of the Internet and buying computer games get in your way! That's far more sensible!
