CoD is like, the only FPS still offering split screen.

It's honestly hard to hate them looking at what everyone else puts on the table

So that they could monitor and control you.

Because broadband internet access become ubiquitous.

Sometimes, I'd wish for certain games to have a dedicated LAN mode. Looking at you, Paradox. You can't fucking play CK2 online. Shit's just broken beyond repair.

Of course they're still a thing. Evolve is still a thing, but it's fucking dead, just like LAN parties. Arguing a technicality when you know what the person meant is low hanging fruit for autists.
