Split Screen Co-op Is Dying

Posted by Soulskill on Monday December 20, 2010 @08:41PM from the just-like-lan-parties dept.

kube00 writes "Split-screen co-op and local multiplayer are becoming things of the past. What happened to cramming a bunch of gamers into a room with two TVs and doing a system link match in Halo? Where have the all-night GoldenEye matches gone? Like the arcades of gamers' youth, the local multiplayer and co-op bonding experience has been replaced with individual gamers and a network."

That's easy: local gaming has mostly gone to the Wii, and you and I don't really play with the Wii.
This flowchart is surprisingly true as well as being funny.

Let's see... that was the 1950's when you were a kid...so that makes you 65 years old or more? Get off my lawn grandpa, we put you in a nursing home for a reason.
