Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a hot minute.
what makes wow not a live service game? aren’t all MMOs by definition live service?
I mean, yeah. Just don’t tend not to lump the older ones in it because of how awful the practice has become since the phrase was formalized.
What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don’t they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?
