See how this gen has taken away the focus from single player games to online, online, its all online?

Out of all the reasons you listed, THIS is the most on spot one why gaming will be dead to me after this generation wraps. Actually, it already pretty much is dead to me right now.

Ever since Call of Duty became a "cool" mainstream cashcow, every company in existance has to shoe-horn online and online only co-op into every single game imaginable, at the EXPENSE of the single player experience (cough cough Mass Effect 3 for God's sake cough cough). All that online rubbish takes up valueable disc space that could have been used to make the single player longer and better.
