If anything, these numbers show that there is a market for single-player experiences, and disprove your idea that all games will eventually be multiplayer-only. ;)
Because they're telling the exact same stories they were telling when they were all WW2. Except that now, Nazis are replaced with various kinds of brown people.
There's more to a story than a setting. These games have terrible dialogue, uninteresting plots and bad characters.
Well yeah, gamers are graphic whores. It's interesting how much of the Watch Dogs hype was coming from its graphics, and how nobody wants to play that game anymore now that we know it's not pretty.
See how wrong you are. Most of these games are played on mobile or tablets which are on contracted 3g networks, this in turn allows you not to have to buy anything with a credit card.
Most parents aren't in the know when a game says FREE they believe it is free and allow their children to play, what they don't know is about micro-transactions, which in most games on the mobile device, you can buy without even having to put a single digit into the phone, they take the money from the contract and this is how people get into debts not the fact the little kid has nicked a credit card. phone contracts allow you to buy through that and add it to your bill.
Microtransactions are billed on the credit card linked to your iTunes or Google Play account, not on your phone bill. If you password-protect your credit card on your phone, your kid can't buy MTs.
And what I am also saying is that if your child is going through a menu and pressing on "buy more gems for 5$?" a hundred times in a week and you don't notice, it's because you're not watching him in the first place. What's stopping him from going to the iTunes or Play store and buying a bunch of music, movies and apps?
