When Video Games Were Social

There used to be a time when almost any online video game you played would be considered "social". Roaming the air constantly in the gaming industry is how gaming has changed for the better or for the worse. One of the worst things to ever plague gaming in my honest opinion has been the decline of social features in multiplayer games (mostly bigger budget games).
