Match Making Onliine Services known as 'MMOs"
Back when I was growing up in the seventies parents wanted their children as far from strangers as possible.
Nowadays kids are not even allowed to play games if they don't subject themselves to playing with strangers.
I was just trying to play Blacklight Tango Down and although there are about four simple single player missions the meat of the game has to be played with strangers - There are no bots for skirmishes.
So as I sat there in a completely dead lobby watching the 'Please wait for three dirty old men to log in and play with you' flashing notice - I kinda thought that online only gaming is also a good way to introduce children to local drug dealers and terrorists hanging out in their neighborhoods while parents in the background go about watching TV never taking notice.
Anyway, it definitely wasn't the way my parents raised me but times have changed and I guess today's more open-minded society is attempting to be less judgmental and discretionary.
