There will never be a replacement for playing a game with your mate next to you on the sofa, especially not co-operative. Online play is ok, and even very good if you have a good friends list, but it will never replace the enjoyment from having a human being in the same room...
I play regularly when I get a chance. Only turn-based puzzle games, no handset has had a decent enough control system/enough power to overcome lag for anything that requires reflexes....
I wouldnt mind banner ads on dashboard or leaderboards, or even sponsored live arcade games if it got me free access or games. Anything that interrupted the flow of the game would be a big no however, I HATE the idea of having an ad interrupt my game every two hours of play for 20 seconds, and would vehemently oppose such a move.
Is online gaming antisocial?
