[quote name='imascrub']what's wrong with games these days. You'd expect online multiplayer for most of them with all the online marketplace/friend's list/online console community/etc, but it seems lately a lot of games I've anticipated don't have online play...[/QUOTE]A lot of it comes down to on PSN especially, you might need to setup your own servers for games (I could be wrong, but I know that since XBL is a closed network, MS already provides a lot of it). And since some developers are small, they just can't do it. Even if they do, Sony doesn't provide the code to implement voice chat and many other online features, kind of has to be done manually. That's what leads to the smaller games on PSN lacking online at times, or being very barebones (a $60 retail game is more likely to get an expansive only).
