I'm one of those who think multiplayer proposals are already covered. It is true that games do not stop the flow, but by looking at the numbers in the cold, the best players at the moment are putting it all together. And these are none other than Overwatch, Fotrnite, PUBG and many others in each aspect of their genre.
The multiplayer experience is shaped by the situation, the video game AI wasn't very mature and it has always been better to play against humans than against a random bot. But all of this will change according to Gabe Newell.
AI is important according to Newell
This is what the founder of Valve and Steam had in this issue GOAL from last March. According to the art, the key to the success of Artificial Intelligence will be if they are able to entertain players instead of behaving like a normal challenge.
When you think of many people on the Internet as a way to generate entertainment experiences, there was a point at a time when connecting people was easier than artificial brains.
We are starting to enter a time when that will evolve again, inspired by what is happening with AI. Currently, OpenAI bots are better than 99% of all Dota players in the world. That is actually a surprisingly small challenge for artificial intelligence. Pretending people are easier than making people happy. But it's years to come, and if you ask me, my little spreadsheet believes that in about nine years we will have a general artificial intelligence that can do whatever a smart person can do.
It would probably initially take something like a billion dollars to build one of these silicon people, but then they would continue to get cheaper, and it would be much faster, and eventually it would come when you had ten or 100 people living on a PC all the time. And using that opportunity will mean that single player games will become more interesting.
Because of this natural intelligence, Newell believes it that endless games can be created so players always have something to work with.
If you can create one endless game of play, where you can play 20 hours a week while growing up and enrich yourself, I will have as much fun in up to 400 hours in the program as in the first 20 hours … That would be a tectonic shift in the industry, AI it becomes more useful, and will move a more favorable environment for multiplayer and multiplayer games.
In short, single player games will have as much fun as most players, and in fact these seconds can be filled with more human bots.
