Demonstrably untrue.

"massive multiplayer online"

The point is to play with people. Even if you're a soloist you're undoubtedly a part of some community.

Now sure just like if I were to say "no one wants to kill children" you could accurately point out that it's not technically true. But the point is that the statement applies to almost everyone. 99.99% of people are playing MMO's and not specifically going out of their way to ignore the presence of other players. They are social games first and foremost. Hence the placement of MMO in MMORPG.
