I’m noticing the language used over and over now is “live service” instead of “game”. I’m coming around to the idea that what they’re trying to do is replace the fact that a game used to be a “good” with it being a “service”. That accursed farms video from 5 years ago titled “games as a service is fraud” was spot on. Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw
