Depends on the type and scale of games.Shoving always-online down the throats of the gamers is a big NO-NO and Maxis shot themselves in the foot when they tried it with latest SimCity. We might live in the age of wi-fi internet, but playing online isn't always that massive fun the marketing departments want you to believe. There's the lag issue, there's the server downtime, the retards griefing, the noobs, etc, etc... A lot of stuff that can spoil your gaming experience, despite the game being great.

Actually smart developers either pick one or the other or both (and let the player decide whether he wants to be online or not). Not half-arsed solutions.
