Anyone know if The Finals counts as a “live service” game? It’s free to play and I think it’s fantastic - both the game and the fact it’s free.
I just don’t play games enough to justify the huge asking prices anymore. The last games I paid for were COD MW2 and Cyberpunk and I doubt I’ll ever drop $70+ for a game again, especially when there’s games like splitgate and whatnot that are free (not that I ever tried the new one. lol)

Didn’t they make 10-100s millions of dollars on this? Pays a lot of salaries for a while.

According to their careers page, they have about 60 employees. And, knowing japanese game dev salaries, a lot of those devs (excluding senior devs) probably make around 30-50k a year depending on seniority unless it’s a unicorn company.

Yeah…that changes the numbers. More like 10-20 years to do just about anything.
Somehow the urgency just drains right out of this for me.

Iirc they started paying their devs waaaay more after the game sold a ton.

no line must go up, only up, up now and up tomorrow and the days after too. fire all the devs too, paying them makes line go down.
