What Are Disadvantages Of Online Games?
Are games played over some form of computer network. At the present, this almost always means the Internet or equivalent technology; but games have always used whatever technology was current: Modems before the Internet, and hard wired terminals before modems.

There are several disadvantages to online gaming. One is that, obviously, it can only be played where an online connection is available. It means you cannot play some games you might like to play while out and about with your laptop, for example. An extension of this is that gaming might be disrupted by Internet connection problems which nearly all users experience sometime.
A second disadvantage is that most online games require subscription, meaning a continuing flow of regular payments must be made as well as the initial purchase cost.
Third, players are usually dependent on a third party, usually the company which created the game, to provide servers which manage the gameplay. If the company goes out of business or experiences technical difficulties, or decides it is no longer economical to run a certain game, would-be players are left in the lurch. This has indeed happened with some fans of online MMORPGs when the company involved decided not to continue running the servers any more.
