    I kind of feel like the golden age of “rebooted live service game” is behind us, tbh. We had games like FFXIV and Rainbow Six: Siege that launched rough, but committed to fixing it and then successfully turned it around. In those days, there weren’t many live service games, so people were willing to wait out a possible turnaround. In the time since, we have been absolutely drowning in live-service games, and many of them are free-to-play. Why would I wait for the Splitgate turnaround when there are 3 other live-service f2p shooters that I haven’t even tried yet? If I’m a kid or young adult that came up on Roblox, I might even be content with the shooters built into that platform.

    That’s a remaster isn’t it? Games have to age into that.
