Is it just me or are there less and less games which support LAN these days? Back when I started gaming the only way to play against my mates was to have a LAN event at a rented hall or at a mates house. This was great fun and really emphasised the social aspect of gaming.
Unfortunately the games that we used to play, like Starcraft and battlefield, their newer versions have dropped the LAN option which makes these style events a thing of the past due to bandwidth issues.
Don't get me wrong, the advent of good systems such as steam and battlenet are great for playing against/with mates but you can't beat getting together in one room and have a good LAN session either. Does anyone know why this option is being left out or any opinions on the matter?
