Dependent on technology, I think the future is VR, we are just dipping our toes into the pond currently, but Morpheus and Oculus are just gateways, I think MMORPGs are going to become more of a thing than they are with VR headsets and DLC won't be as big of a thing anymore, but it'll be more of a subscription based model, less story driven games and more open worlds where you create your own story either alone or with other people. You'll have different genres of MMOs, but as technology advances you'll feel more immersed, hopefully to the point where you don't need 2 screens infront of your face, but you just close your eyes and neurally link into the game, if you watch anime think Log Horizon or Sword Art Online.
Am I a bad person if that sounds just awful to me? I love story-driven games that I can play by myself with a keyboard and mouse or USB controller. That future sounds like one where I'd, for the first time in my life, not be a gamer, which to me is sad.
I feel you, but I am excited to try out this new VR system it will either flop real hard or become the next thing, but I doubt that the normal gaming methods we are all used to will be obsolete due to cost so nothing to fear my friend :).
