Marvel Rivals is the New Gold Standard for Live-Service Launches

Marvel Rivals is the latest in a long line of live-service games, but while many of those have struggled, NetEase Games has crafted something special.

This is the 4th opinion piece from GameRant in two or so days praising Marvel Rivals. Not including their review of the game.

What would the standard for Live Service Games be? I feel like the model needs to go, not be embraced.

Remember the consumers are ultimately in the driver seat. This means if you want to see more single player games, you have to support them.... in just the same way that consumers are supporting Live Service games. I play both. I support both and I enjoy both. Top two most played games are Helldivers and FF7. I don't understand the mindset that one must win and the other must lose. Both can be successful. There are good service games and bad ones.

You’ll say something different next week once true metas set in. Then it’s to the trash can

Be wary of these “standards” expectations . Set them to high and no one will reach the bar
