One problem with real-time multiplayer games is also the sensitivity to latency. It can very easily be impossible to play any game that is sensitive to latency together with people from several continents. I'd wish there'd be more games that don't rely on fast connections. CIV 5 is good exception, with it's well though-out multiplayer modes.
