Games as an unreliable service

A summary on the mixed results of live service games.

Good read! Really sums up why I don't care for the business model .

I just don't think you can trust developers to release a full game anymore. I will never preorder a live service game because you never know what you're going to get. I got burned on Anthem and as much as The Division 2 restores some faith in this type of game, it seems to be the exception that proves the rule

While Division 2 is fun, for me it is falling in line with every GaaS. There has been nothing to do for awhile and they cannot even give us an update on when the raid is coming, other than May. It was due in April! I am done buying these games because of the long stretches of nothingness.

The actual problem with "Gaas" is people like this that can spend 100+ hours on a game and then complain there isn't enough content.

But GaaS is the future !!!

Personally I don’t understand the hate against this so called GAAS. An MMO doesn’t get this shit from gamers, yet it’s kinda the same as GAAS imo. Hell, you often pay a monthly fee with MMO’s to play, yet paying for cosmetics is wrong? As long as the price is right for the content at least.
