A lot of visionaries see the Armageddon as the future, so we should try to bring about the end of the world!

Everyone is trying to push online gaming, but for online gaming to become mainstream, it's got to grow and evolve at it's own pace. Making every game have online multiplayer isn't going to work, as most online games these days just use the internet as an alternative to split-screen or LAN mulitplayer, there's no evolution of gaming invovled.
We need innovative online "killer apps" to make online gaming mainstream. Whe I say innovative, I don't mean having a lot of players, or letting you play against strangers on the other side of the world instead of a friend next to you on the couch, but games that let you do something you never thought possible until you play it online for the first time.
