StaceyTGEiC Reread what I said, never♎ mentioned live service games in my post specifically, just the general issue. Live service games are for the most part pushed from marketing depts.

It is every pubs wet dream to have a successful live service game because once it ru🌠ns it needs a small upkeep for high returns. Issue is, most live service games that succeed tend to have at least some pro-consumer things that make them appealing(e.g. Warframe and how they allow you to trade plat, which is the paid currency of the game).

The stab I had for journalists was concerning every other slop that gets pushed out aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnd ends up in Studio closures, see veilguard, concord, etc.

Maybe the issue♎ is that publishers, instead of doing their job and just publishing games talented devs made, they forced whatever marketers and game journos told them onto the devs to make slop that no one wanted to 𝄹nether make nor play.

I don't get how with all the news and reviews concerning Starfield can someone buy it and regre♒t it. Like, the only way to make that error is if you buy games based on what game journos tell you.

They need to pay me 60 bucks to play it. If they want me fi𝕴nish it they need to pay me 120 for premium time but I might cut my services unexpectedly and without any given reason.
