CVG is offering some commentary from Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart about why he feels that MMORPGs are negatively impacting non-MMO RPGs.

He believes it's key that developers of non-MMO RPGs look closely at what the genre offers over MMORPGs to ensure the RPG genre doesn't lose out to the increasingly popular massively multiplayer online world.

"I think those of us that make non-MMO RPGs need to look at what a single-player/small multiplayer RPG can do that MMOs can't and spend our time and effort on those things", Urquhart said.

I can't say I disagree with much of what he says.
