No one wants live service games. No one. How do the dozens of examples of this, attempted by AA and AAA studios, with MASSIVE backlash and public failure, go ignored?

Well no one wants shitty live service shoe ins to games that have no massive open world. I still like MMORPGs because I'm old.

People want live service games which actually live. Otherwise how does this MMO forum exist?

The issue is that AAA studios want the live service income without the live service content.

They want basic multiplayer servers and regular balance/bug patches to be the paid service and any new content is from the marketing budget to get new users.

This done so that the executives increase profits short term as a springboard to their next role, not being at the company for the inevitable userbase collapse.

The funny thing is that at work, it's the 12 year old girls who play Genshin Impact. The boys all play Fortnite and Spiderman.

Big overlap in the preteen girl, middle aged male pervert demographics wanting to dress up waifus

Not really news but why do gamers post a pic they took of the screen insead of a screenshot? Looks like shit, young and married to the phone and that's all they know?

I do that because it's way less trouble than moving the pictures off the PS5 onto a USB drive and onto the computer. Just take a picture on phone, post picture from phone, since I usually post from phone during the day anyway.

Alla that said, I just found out today that the Playstation app actually insta-migrates your ingame screenshots from your system, which is even easier than having to take a picture of the screen. So I gotta look into that.

Yeah people love to talk about mobile taking over consoles and especially the Switch, but 99% of mobile games are on par with the worst shovelware that gets dumped on the eShop. The other 1% is pretty much just ports of old games that are available everywhere else with controls that aren't absolute dogshit.

yea that's the goal. multinational companies want to shovel shit at people and receive shovels of money in return. they despise good games and want to damage them so they can continue the shoveling operation.

I would put solitaire on my phone if it was possible to get it without ads and viruses.

The gamers that enabled and built up the gaming industry are now working themselves to death so they can help fund their wives and children pouring billions into the mobile games that are killing the industry. And being called sexist and racist for even asking about games they may hope to play.
