The more established term is a live service game: A game where development continues far beyond release with a trickle of content to keep players playing (and paying).
It’s not that my interest is n d2 waned. My Interest is the same, but I’m less and less willing to fork over large sums of money to continue to experience the same game.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

Games as a Service are exhausting. We’ve been keeping up with this shit for a decade. Its tiring. I don’t play games with seasons anymore.
You don’t like standing in circles, and throwing energy orbs at things, for 22 seasons in a row?
They are still doing that?
Don’t forget shooting at crystals and not using the weapon you want.
Bungie really had a thing for making us touch as many balls as possible.

First time I’m hearing the phrase “games as a service.” What does that mean??
The more established term is a live service game: A game where development continues far beyond release with a trickle of content to keep players playing (and paying).
To put it simply, season passes.
