Some of the most compelling games in existence are so compelling due to their multiplayer aspects. From counter strike to world of Warcraft, pong to Gran Turismo, millions of collective hours have been spent in multiplayer games. Many games developers have seen this happen unintentionally, spending vast amounts of money on content for their ten hour single player campaign, only to see players spend hundreds of hours on the multiplayer component that was tacked on at the last minute.
