i hate how much to digital age destroyed local gaming/multiplayer

No, game devs killed it because it doesn't make as much money.


Its a combination tbh

The "digital age" doesn't have much to do with it.
Two bros playing on a couch only need one copy.
Two bros playing across the internet need two copies.

Once devs realized that the resources need to get four-player splitscreen to work could free up a few more polygons for pretty screenshots, it was all over. When devs realized they could shut down the online-play server after a handful of months and effectively force gamers to buy essentially the same game every year, it was definitely all over.
