hes right tho, Live service would have gotten them more money than a single sale. There are always some r-slurera type r-slurs willing to keep paying and playing their self perceived favourite game. !g*mers

That would be true if we didn't have numerous examples of companies completely pulling the plug on their lives service projects after only a couple months online.

Thought it was the writing. But that's why Mr. EA gets paid $24M and not me.

If he criticized the writing, Vanguard might withhold its ESG money.

What exactly is "live service"? I looked around the intertubes but people don't give the same definition.

Live service means a game you can't play if the company stops supporting it.

If blizzard turns off the overwatch servers, nobody can even log into the game any more, so it's live service.

Typically it also involves the company being involved with the game, adding new content and adjusting existing stuff as time goes on, to justify people investing more money into the game either through microtransactions or a subscription fee.

So it's like software as a service for games? That makes sense, though it's awful.

It's not necessarily a bad thing for games desu

Competitive PvP games generally only persist as long as there's a big enough playerbase. By the time a GaaS game is unprofitable and gets turned off, the playerbase would have died out anyway even if it was a one time purchase and you'd be left with a game you couldn't play anyway.

Plus, GaaS games tend to prefer a free to play model supported by cosmetic microtransactions which makes it easier for people to get into the game and expand the playerbase.

It doesn't make sense for single player games but that's an issue that will fix itself in time.
