But it's true. I (along with many other gamers) bought the last three Call of Duty games and Battlefield: BC 2 solely for online play. I guess I've always known it, but have always tried to avoid the realization that video games are, at their core, childish entertainment. But it's true that if even one big developer were to take a risk to better the industry instead of thinking of fattening their wallets, then video games could gain widespread social acceptance in the matter of just a few years. But until that time, we all still have a little child left in us. This…made me sad. But it’s true.
