Future of Gaming (January 4, 2000)

[Bandit LOAF]

Eurogamer has an article on the 'Future of Gaming', which deals with the Massively Multiplayer phenomena. (Again, from ATFW).

When Ultima Online became Origin's most profitable game ever, they made the decision to ditch single player entirely and instead produce only multiplayer games in future.Given that Origin was best known for the Ultima and Wing Commander series, which had always been single player only in the past, this was something of a leap of faith. But if the current stampede of online games is anything to go by, it looks as if their faith in multiplayer gaming will be rewarded.
