@ravenchamber @gakkiluchy 网络游戏(英语:Online Game),也称在线游戏,一般指多名玩家通过计算机互联网进行交互娱乐的电子游戏,以游戏运行软件分类一般是指客户端下载的大型多人在线游戏。部分游戏能通过连接网络服务器进行联机对战、在线云存档。网络游戏有战略游戏、动作游戏、体育游戏、格斗游戏、音乐游戏、竞速游戏、和角色扮演游戏等多种类型,不过也有少数在线网络单人游戏。
An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or another computer network.[1] Online games are ubiquitous on modern gaming platforms, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategy games and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).
The design of online games can range from simple text-based environments to the incorporation of complex graphics and virtual worlds.The prominence of online components within a game can range from being minor features, such as an online leaderboard, to being part of core gameplay, such as directly playing against other players. Many online games create their own online communities, while other games, especially social games, integrate the players' existing real-life communities.

感觉按照字面上的定义来说,只要有网络交互游戏功能的都可以定义为网游,网游现在应该已经是一个泛化概念了,不过在10年前的话,说起网游估计想到的只有MMORPG,时代在进步,很多东西不能想当然了。
