      Wait is the star wars game a live service? I thought it was a single player game.

        It’s single player, but requires an internet connection and has a season pass.

          Oh yikes. That sucks. I mean, I don’t mind the internet connection. I always have one. But the season pass is not a good omen, unless it is just for the DLC when it comes out, like how games were 10 years ago. But I feel like it hasn’t meant that in a long time. Also, Ubisoft doesn’t have a good track record.

            I think the internet requirement super sucks because those servers go down eventually. It’s likely to be a big problem on launch day as well. The more expensive editions come with an exclusive mission so that probably sets the tone for the season pass too. We will have no wait and see.

        Live service and single player is not incompatible… Unfortunately…

        Look at Hitman (2016 and forward), all require an online connection to play, and release new stuff monthly.

        Many of Ubisofts games also require an online connection despite being fully single player, and you can even buy currency for the in-game single player shop with real money… What used to be a cheat code is now a microtransaction.
