    People vote with their wallet repeatedly against live service games, and they keep releasing them. Eventually they’ll stop, right? Right?

      Now that I think about it, this idea was probably a good one for standard release, not live service. People get enticed by IP rights even if they don’t necessarily devote hundreds of hours to a game like this.

      It works for things like Injustice. They see a Batman/Superman fighting game even if they aren’t going to hit Gold rank in competitive. Even if they only hit 10 hours, they paid the entry price.

      Do they though? The biggest and most profitable games right now are all live services. Consumers are very much voting for live services.
