Sony needs to stop with these live service games. Nobody is interested in a new one. Everyone who wants to play one, already has their game chosen and do not move from it.

It's the same thing we had 10+ years ago with MMO's. Everyone wanted to unseat WoW,

MMOs to MOBAs to BR.... On and on and on. Publishers being 2 years too late to a trend and trying to jump on the train after it left the station fucking over their existing fanbase in the process. The MBAs in charge of these decisions should be fired.... Out of a cannon into the sun.

The problem is "live service" went from vast paid expansions that added cool shit without any bullshit dark patterns, to milking people dry and trick them to stay in game until they're just a husk of a human being.
