  Watching live service games crash and burn is just so cathartic.

  Steam puts the player peak for the episode release at just 559 players, and it’s down to peaking under 500 even on the weekend here.

    When you can pack the peak amount of players into a decent sized ballroom, that’s never a good sign for your game’s future.

    At this point they’re probably better off just refunding buyers and shuttering the game entirely. Doesn’t feel like this is a salvageable situation.

    Not until Helldivers 2 dies too. I was tricked into thinking it was healing, and then that game exploded.

      I still don’t think the enemy is “all live service games” exactly. A lot of us have a style of gameplay we enjoy that makes us go “That was fun! I want some more of it.”

      Just that Rocksteady made singleplayer games well, and their poor shift just informs us that not all games need to be live service, especially when the gameplay shifts to something no one likes in order to achieve Number Go Up (similar situation with Gotham Knights)

  Feels so good to see a live service cashgrab fail

    Their apparent solution to this is more love service games (at least from a few weeks or so ago).

  Any numbers in on how much money they lost?

  • MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Considering what companies that make live services target for… They’ll chalk this up as a loss at the amount of All of the money in the world.

    Approximately $200M, but you can get creative with accounting across multiple products, the way they phrased it.
