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?

Don't forget shooting at crystals and not using the weapon you want.

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.

First time I'm hearing the phrase "games as a service." What does that mean??

[–] cttttt 10 points 1 year ago

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.
