internet will become the bane of single-player gaming, imo

It could be a great boon. The internet enabled you to download dozens of quality modules for NWN, and more that were worth at least one play through.
But more and more, it is becoming a great big pain in the butt. Even when a game is played exclusively single-player, there's still some internet-based requirement like a DRM or (like in Dragon Age) some sort of account-based save system. I didn't have internet for a few hours the other day and I couldn't access my recently unlocked specializations on a new character! Why? Because I wasn't logged into my account.
Seriously, it's like the game companies are trying to get us to stop buying their products.

Why must they drag the internet into everything? A (very very bitter) Dawn of War 2 rant

OK. We all have our own SOPs. Just don't keep them on the QT or DL, or at least translate PDQ *NM*

It was a disappointing game. Looks great, but there isn't any depth or strategy at all.

In full agreement on the DRM. But the Tyranids predated the Zerg by quite a long time.

So wait: Are you trying to argue that because Starcraft was more popular, it became the original?
