Or maybe it went exactly according to plan.

Oh so they like playing superior games?

Good.

While I like a great multiplayer every once in a while they have a lot of things about them I dislike.
  • They have to be played in their prime to enjoy them, unlike a single player game which can be played years down the road
  • They often have addictive traits, prioritizing bad behaviors over fun gameplay (ie: season pass rewards, contracts, etc)
  • Multiplayer enthusiasts will insist multiplayer is slapped onto absolutely everything, even games were built from the ground up with a solo experience in mind
  • Even when a multiplayer doesnt have addictive traits, they can still be very frustrating because of team balancing. I miss the days when a balanced team meant skills of players were 2+2+1+1+4=10 instead of everybody needing to be the exact same skill level (2+2+2+2+2=10). Back when there were regularly better players on the other team (and yours) it balanced out and forced new players, who actually had the desire to get better to learn high level skills faster. Alternatively it kept players from learning bad game habits, which might work at lower skill levels but not at higher ones. So I find when I or other players do get better at these games, we are left asking, but why did I lose? Where as in games where there is always at least 1 or 2 high skill players, those bad behaviors are regularly punished, conditioning them to not do them. Also when you ARE the higher skilled player, you feel highly rewarded for learning to play the game correctly.

Probably a dislike of mmos and service style games. I'm sure she would discover two player co-op with someone willing to spend time to explore the world and not rush through the content is quite satisfying in its own way.

imagine believing that playing single-player games are a waste of time but somehow multiplayer games aren't.

Hell the only reason EA wants more multiplayer experiences is so they can get you to waste your money

They'll apways play Mario Party or something. You just need to figure out that middle ground. Nobody in our generation plays "nothing" non single player. If they do, they're probably not going out and meeting people anyway

It's a dumb tweet but I can see why they want to push that narrative

You don't really get whales or serious micro-transactions in Single Player Games.

1 year of GTA 5 online made more cash than GTA 5 single player did overall.

That's why they push these multiplayer games so much. Buy it every year, spend a fortune on Microstransactions. These companies make millions

It's a meme format. "When she's a 10, but" followed by something you wouldn't find attractive.

EA is basically saying that liking Single Player games is a negative and getting destroyed by comments for it

I think they mean people who ONLY play single player. Like even if you are best buds or lovers they still won't wanna play a multiplayer game with you.

Like I vastly prefer single player but I got no problems playing shit like street fighter or something like halo with a good friend. I just don't care for teaming up completely with randos online.
