The reason gaming sucks is multiplayer. If they got rid of multiplayer they could cut costs likely around 75% if you include server and server setup costs. If they just made old fashioned games no internet required I would consider buying a game but not a lame game like with jumping or blocks. A diablo2 like game I would buy but not a final fantasy where it's wait your turn to fight.
I said in the late 90's when I was modding at an emulation site that a game that is a client on a server would be useless if the company went out of business or decided to stop supporting the server. I also argued I would never pay a charge for server use like the PlayStation network. If a game is not self contained then it's a ripoff waiting for a sucker.
