Drop in offline multiplayer games

I don't know if this is just me or something actually happening.

There used to be a lot of games that I could enjoy offline with a buddy on my couch.

Nowadays it's all about online multiplayer.

My girlfriend and I love Dead Space, but now we are forced to not play together as we "only" have one PS3 to play Dead Space 3. Same goes for a lot of other games. The same will go for future games likes AC Unity. I love the franchise, but I'm certain that it will only be online cooperative.

Does anyone knows why we, as gamers, are "forced" to play more and more with strangers on a long distance instead of friends in the same room?

Because most couch co-op players from 10 years ago have made the leap to online gaming,and also because I imagine it takes up crucial dev time making a split screen component (It's probably harder than just cutting the screen in half :) ) , so devs decide not to.

 

That said if you're willing to look outside AAA games, alot of indies have couch co-op, and it does seem to be making a comeback in that genre.

 

Heres a few decent couch co-op games
