MODERATORS
 

New research shows a massive generational divide in game genre preferences. A study by MIDiA Research surveyed 9,000 gamers across several countries including the US, UK, Germany, and South Korea. It found that online player-vs-player games are more popular than single-player ones among audiences aged 16-24. Only 30% of this bracket wants to play alone, while a whopping 68% of them would rather play online or couch co-op.

In other news they used to make good single player game and now they don’t.

Nah, they defs do. Just less. Also, the trend seems to go towards single player again, so maybe there’s hope for the future. Big multiplayer releases bombing is definitely a sign for devs, too.
