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.
hey now we also have to go between three different telephones the size of washing machines all 20 meters apart in a world where you can communicate across the entire solar system instantly with no delay.
Bungie really had a thing for making us touch as many balls as possible.
They are still doing that?
exactly. I gave MMOs a try, I gave looter shooters a try, and eventually I figured out GAAS is just not for me. single player offline only games please and thank you.
First time I'm hearing the phrase "games as a service." What does that mean??
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.
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.
