I think a simple solution would be get rid of online play and go back to just basic games. The multiplayer online crap is why I pretty much quit playing videogames. Everyone is going away from the single player story. Sorry if I wanted to play with friends I'd go do it in real life. I used to use games as a way to decompress. Can't do that now because every game has seemed to have gone to a online competition. Screw that last thing I want to do at the end of the day is play a meaningless game with a bunch of random overly competitive kids. I want games like fallout (3, new Vegas, 4), Skyrim, borderlands, Duke nukem time to kill. Those are where games need to get back to.
