	Speaking at an EA Winter Games Showcase earlier this week and EA spokesperson said that the company strongly believed that multiplayer games were the most exciting place to be developing and that singleplayer experiences may well be on the way out. "Singleplayer games are no longer the future," said a spokesperson who introduced the event which had playable segments from Left 4 Dead 2, Mass Effect 2 and C&C 4 on show.

Yep....
They can't figure out how to develop a good A.I. routine for games....they shred just about every title they develop in regards to actual good gameplay...
so..
..they will now focus on just creating a sandbox for you to find players to play with. They can't be blamed for any B.S. that goes on in games if it's not their A.I.
Brilliant.
....and I saw there are already idiots saying.
"Yeah...we don't need single player, I only play MP anyway"

What a copout by EA.
Figures.

LMAO.... there's still a lot of people that don't have any interest in playing online.

You'd really alienate a lot of customers with a move like this.

They have been saying this for years, Take this with a grain of salt.

Not only that but there are tons of players that don't even have access to online play. My guess is the younger age people (which are a a huge portion of the market, HUGE) make up the largest portion of that category.

Oh good lord... I really shake my head at this company sometimes.

So no more sports offline franchises? No more games like Dead Space?

Stupid comments IMO.
