Live Service is the Lich to all of our Finn & Jakes.

I think that there's a perfectly reasonable role for live service games. There are things that you can do with it that you just can't do without it. It's a legitimate way to spend time playing games with other people online and have a constant stream of new content come out. I don't personally really go in for that type of game, but I entirely understand people who do.

I just don't want every game out there to be turned into a live service game.

And I also kind of suspect that there are too many developers trying to fight for too-little live service game demand.
