I’ve been going over the slides from Raph Koster’s recent GDC talk, “Where Game Meets the Web”. It’s great stuff (I wish I had the audio), and he has some great quotes to pique your interest:

“Single player games are an aberration.”

He goes on to clarify:

“Very soon, all single-player gaming will happen within a multiplayer context of connectivity, persistent and publicly visible profiles, and awareness of other users.”

I think he’s dead on, and I think this has tremendous and complex implications for the future of gaming.
