Single player mechanic is a gimmick he says...
Very well I counter. Multi-player is a gimmick. MMO's are an even bigger gimmick cause it contains all of them usually.
If you want me to say it fine.
Every single game is a big fat fake gimmick that stole ideas from other things.
Leaving of course only pong, being the original video game. And still thats pushing it! It did steal tennis, or badminton.
See the spoiler for my reaction to this mans dumb asshat'ery
Yeah? And I say this guy is a "douchebag."
EDIT: No, that was not intended as an intelligent well thought out response. I can't think of one ATM.

Ugh, I thought Angry Joe was the only person with that mindset.
I'm one of the millions of people who play MMOs solo. Why? Because it's cheap & the world is huge. The other players are just there to make the world look realistically populated.

Yeah, yeah singleplayer games are totally a niche market.
Like, those independent guys who developed that game, god, what was it called, Skyrin I think it was?
And those guys who made Dragon Rage and Mass Affect or something like that.
I mean, yeah totally. Singleplayer games, completely niche market; barely any audience to speak of really.

Wow, it's almost like this guy has an incredibly heavy bias and no qualifications to talk on how video games are "meant" to be played!Andy Chalk said:
Come now, my fellow Escapists. Be nice.
Mr. Jonan is free to think whatever he wants about games. He's wrong, completely and totally in a very laughable way, but he's free to have his own thoughts on the matter.
He's also free to kiss the fattest part of my ass if he thinks anyone gives two shits and a fuck about what he thinks, given that he's the CEO of a "Social Gaming" company.

PR stunt.
Move along, nothing to see here.
I can't imagine how this obvious PR stunt was considered newsworthy enough to post in the first place.

I'm sorry what company did you say you worked for? Gogogic? Nope never heard of you if you'll just wait there a second security will return you to your secure unit.
I was going to say the same thing. Never heard of him or that company.DustyDrB said:
I'm going to add: Where does this guy think the stereotype of gamers being closed off anti-social people came from.
All stereotypes have their roots in reality. The vast majority of games back in the day were single player mainly, if they did have multiplayer, it was just tacked on for most of them.
The original Mario Bros. technically has multiplayer, but back then you didn't see me begging my brother or parents to take up player 2. My thoughts then are pretty much the same now, why let other people get involved when I can have the game all to myself. I've always been a single player gamer, though I occasionally do multiplayer with friends.
I like having control, and for the most part, when I play multiplayer games, I don't feel like I have full control.
Single player mode is best mode.
Multiplayer is...well, it gets boring really fast. Because all you're really doing is playing the same couple of matches again and again. And even in games with cooperative features, there're only so many ways you can play with other people.

Well.. Seems like everything that's needed to be said is already said by other people, so I'll just go with the good ol fashioned FUCK YOU.
So a dude no one knows... from a company no one's heard of... says something obviously retarded. And we care why? We all KNOW he's full of shit, there isn't really much to talk about.
I'd agree with him, if multiplayer wasn't being used as the gimmick now. How many games shoe horn it in to try and make the game laster longer, and skimp out on the actual single player experience of the game. Call of Duty is the only game that comes to mind with a single player where THAT part feels like the gimmick. People think of CoD and think of multiplayer. Halo is the first game that comes to mind where they feel like equals, and if you think about it, while online matches are thought of a lot, who's the face of the franchise? Random Spartan/Elite created by what's his face, or the single player Master Chief himself?
I could see where he was coming from if we lived in a different world, but right now, multiplayer is the bigger gimmick between the two.
