I believe that as we move into areas other than the traditional fantasy setting, we'll have much more exciting games that attract gamers as never before. In a time where technology has supposedly divided people from one another, the notion that these games can bring together people from all over the world will gain momentum. I think we'll get to a point where the market will demand multiplayer gameplay in virtually all games. Human beings have always preferred to play games together. A great deal of what fun is about is surprise, the unexpected.
Nothing can do that like other people.
Again, the exploration of different genres will undoubtedly expand the market. With children's games and many other possibilities, we need only get the world out to non-traditional game players to see more people online. Community is the shared sense of identification with a group of people, usually associated with a location at which they can meet. I believe the richest gaming experiences are those that involve community participation. For instance, people who always solo in MMPs are missing out on a great deal.
