Ernest Cline
American Novelist
Before I became a full-time writer, I worked in tech support in those giant cubicle farms you see. I was surrounded by people who played video games all the time - sometimes actually in the call centers, playing online multiplayer games. I saw friends of mine who began to feel that going online was more compelling to them than real life.

I'm still playing 'GTA;' the online multiplayer is just fantastic. 'Titanfall,' if you can actually get on, is really good, and I just finished the 'Left Behind DLC,' which again, it's one of those games where you put the controller down once you finish and just need to take a break!
Quote examples
Tim Schafer
American Businessman
People talk about games and loneliness - it's a lonely activity. I didn't understand that. 'Gears of War' was the first multiplayer game for me that I enjoyed. But I wasn't sad. I liked being alone. I liked playing games by myself. I had lots of companionship at the house.

The reality is, the way that online experiences have progressed, it's an expensive proposition. The amount of servers we need to support 'Smash Brothers' or 'Mario Kart' - these big multiplayer games - is not a small investment.

Warren Spector
American Designer
I don't even make multiplayer games much, so dealing with multiple characters is something new for me - or, rather, something I've had to recall from my days as a roleplaying adventure designer where the party was everything!
Quote examples
Jason Schreier
As a massively multiplayer online RPG, 'The Old Republic' has no single-player components; you cooperate with and compete against other people in a virtual, persistently online recreation of the 'Star Wars' universe.

With multiplayer, permanent death, and an ever-changing world to explore and conquer, 'A Valley Without Wind' might be the place you're looking for if you need to escape the same dreary titles.

It'd be awesome if you could see an actual player's faces projected onto an in-game character in a multiplayer game. Imagine how realistic that would feel.

Treyarch contributed so significantly to the multiplayer technology that's in 'Modern Warfare 2,' and they didn't really get the credit for that.

I created a character who plays multiplayer video games, and he's considered the most dominating gaming specimen.
