Games as a Service are exhausting. We’ve been keeping up with this shit for a decade. Its tiring. I don’t play games with seasons anymore.

First time I’m hearing the phrase “games as a service.” What does that mean??

The more established term is a live service game: A game where development continues far beyond release with a trickle of content to keep players playing (and paying).

It’s not that my interest is n d2 waned. My Interest is the same, but I’m less and less willing to fork over large sums of money to continue to experience the same game.

Bungie really had a thing for making us touch as many balls as possible.
