Wasn't the biggest fan of CrossWorld's driving model or the item balance but the liveservice aspect is my least favorite part. I just don't want to feel like I gotta "tune in" on w/e days/weeks the devs decide to update it. It's a bunch of FOMO and I hate it. A couple updates is fine, but not this.

A Pokémon MOBA that runs six more years before pulling the plug is a strange kind of win. Most live-service games die quiet and early. Unite gets a scheduled sunset, which is more closure than the genre usually offers. #PokemonUnite #LiveService

I still really dislike this UI (it's giving mobile/gacha/liveservice)
As far as the actual system changes - it's been described in maybe the most "oh no" way possible, but maybe it'll actually let us just keep doing 5 experts / etc per week and it'll be fine (we just don't know enough details yet)

Evercold will introduce a seasonal system bringing major changes to how rewards are earned and how players progress their character's item levels! ✨
Stay tuned for news arriving during the Keynote during Fan Festival 2026 in Tokyo this weekend!

Well first you spend 6 years making off brand Far Cry because that's doing well, and then you scrap that because liveservice is where the money is but then you scrap that because Fortnite is where the liveservice money is.
Wait where'd all our money and talent go?

Yeah, Redfall. Apparently development was a mess and I even heard a rumor they wanted to can it but Bethesda was like nah liveservice is where the money is.

Ktoś to wymyślił. Ktoś wziął, usiadł i pomyślał "a jakby z tego zrobić liveservice". A po paru latach się odwidzi i cyk, cały proces trzeba zaczynać od nowa.
Zaczynam myśleć że BG&E2 to bardziej pole do testowania zjebanych pomysłów, które potem trafiają do innych gier niż gra sama w sobie.

No tak, bo wcale EA nie chcieli zrobić z DA liveservice, a potem stwierdzili, że jednak nie, kazali BioWare wyciąć liveservicowe elementy i wydać :D

The fact Bioware despite all of EA's liveservice demands put out something as good as Dragon Age The Veilguard should have been reason alone not to close them. Takes a lot of talent to do what they did and if you don't like Veilguard imagine what they could have done without EA Kneecapping them

It's one thing if it gets a few balance patches and one or two DLC, sure, whatever. That's fine
But if you spend years constantly updating the game like its liveservice it's like... what are we doing here. I respect the game more when it's just one and done.
That's right Isaac, I'm lookin at YOU

The game industry is diseased
If I had made the headline a question then you could invoke Betteridge's Law of Headlines and just answer "No". But I made it a statement because I think the proof is fairly robust: the game industry is sick, and not in a good way. Note that I'm not implying that there are no good games or that the industry is collapsing, but rather that the industry is not consistently rewarding the right kinds of behaviour and products.

Genre le jeu skate d'EA qui est en early access, ils l'ont "dé-liveservice" en ont fait un jeu complêtement jouable offline et moddable. On peut lancer n'importe quel map, ils ont ajouté tous les mods que la commu voulait. Je sais pas comment ca marche mais ca se greffe sur le jeu original

The root of the problem isn't the franchise or even just 2K. They are one of many and any dev can do this and its quickly becoming a industry standard to make every game liveservice.
This is why I mentioned Stop Killing Games. This needs to become illegal to build kill switches into software.

I will not buy this whole "nEw GaMeS SuCk" propoganda. Sure there's a few weak entries and some crappy remake titles. Not to mention the liveservice oversaturation. But we've also had some remarkable new IP's, beautifully crafted remakes, and incredible indie titles.
