Is multiplayer a threat to the gaming industry?

Maybe that sad reasoning is behind much of the gaming industry today. Don't produce good meaty stuff dedicated people will enjoy for years, aka IL2 series including CloD. Just churn out complete rubbish that people will try a couple of times before moving on to the next one. Pile 'em high and sell 'em not so cheap. Still, it probably keeps the spotty hords happy.
