Is it just me or are most new PC games coming out as MMORPG's?

1. It's not just you.

I think they figure if they make an MMO they can keep making money off the same game and its expansions indefinitely. Never mind that making an awesome single player game would give them the same benefit. We'd have bought F:NV, Oblivion, Diablo 2, or Neverwinter Nights expansions until the end of time if they'd kept releasing them.

Since the MMO market is finite, I hope after a few companies lose their asses because they can't pull enough players off existing or new competing MMOs, this trend will die. Most of the people that are willing to play MMOs are already playing them.
