Shitty and limited it is, all scripted encounters and not interactive, AI has a low rent connotation now because everyone can churn out trash with it and people will value human experiences more and more so PVP multiplayer will continue to thrive. The next Zelda game will be 150 player battle Royale extraction game with farming & dating sim elements and have a Battle Pass and require an Always Online connection

Entire genres of single player games are dead now btw

Racing games

RTS (had multiplayer too but killed by Koreans, long story imo)

Shmups

3d mascot platformers

Point and click adventure games

Rhythm games like guitar hero etc

Skateboarding games

Vehicular combat games (twisteds metal series, etc.)

Beat em ups

Mech games

Casual racing is dead but there's a sim racing renaissance going on right now. Stuff like iRacing and Assetto Corsa have gotten so good that IRL racing drivers are building mid to high 5 figure rigs for training.

RTS has AOE2 which is still getting major updates and S tier tournaments

RIP the other genres though, the rhythm game fad was 180 in college

That's because there's nothing positive about MMOs. It is all about creating fake content (shitty) and pushing social interaction online (I play video games to escape social interaction irl). I haven't liked a single MMO.

what even counts as an MMO. PC games like Path of Exile are massively multiplayer afaik. Baldur's Gate 3 has lots of multiplayer features but I don't think turn-based can be "MMO".
