It baffles me why they keep making decisions like this.

Time and time and time again, gamers have unanimously decried practices like this, yet time and time and time again, developers think they can get away with it.

Respawn Announces Changes to Apex Legends Battle Pass After Community Outcry - IGN

On July 8th, EA and Respawn Entertainment introduced a new Apex Legends Battle Pass system for Season 22. But after many of the new Battle Pass changes proved unpopular, Respawn is apologizing for its handling of the shift, and making some changes in response to criticism.

Replaying Ghost of Tsushima and dang, this game is just so good and so, so gorgeous.

Video game adaptations seem to thrive in the apocalypse.

@TheRealEricE it's wild to me that studios keep taking the wrong message from successes and failures. Destiny 1/2 were successful in spite of its live service nature because it's Bungie. Some of the best feeling shooting in the industry. Live service is bullshit you put up with, not something to aspire to. No one is like "this avengers game is meh, but hot damn look at all this live service stuff I can play with!" Not to mention you literally have to siphon off your audience from another game.

WB: let's take this studio that made some of the best and most successful single player superhero games ever made and make them develop a live service co op game!

*Game releases to middling reviews and sells poorly*

WB: well this isn't sustainable...let's live service even HARDER!

WHAT

Can video game execs stop it with live-service games?

Warner Bros said they were going to put more focus on free-to-play and live service games, which makes all of us gamers ask, “Why?”
