If anyone else, like me, doesn’t know what a ‘live service game’ is, this is the definition from the article:

The survey defines live services as any regular update cadence planned for a game.

The report notes that traditional game development is two-three years long, while live production is more than five years.

If anyone has a simpler and more succinct definition, please do share ❤️

Live service typically means a game that continuously delivers content, typically on a schedule. Think Destiny 2, Fortnight, etc

Perfect, thank you, that’s a lot easier to understand! ❤️

I personally don’t play any online and/or multiplayer games, so the term was new to me.

Live service means “forced online with a trash content treadmill to maximize FOMO”.

Also very succinct and to the point, thank you! 😊👌

Rules:

  • 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
