That makes sense to me. Multiplayer games and MMOs in particular are satisfying in ways that a lot of other genres really aren't. A single player game might be fun, but your friends aren't there, and you have don't have the years of investment in your character and their progression. You also don't usually get the guilds and clans and forums and spreadsheets that can keep you engaged even out of the game. I recently finished a Final Fantasy game after more than 300 hours, so I can spend a lot of time on a single title myself and I absolutely have a few games I keep going back to when I want a break from the backlog. I think as long as people are trying out new things it's fine to fall back on familiar favorites. My worry was that these people were 100% CoD and nothing else which seems very strange and self-limiting.
