      Soon playing multiple games will be as exhausting as working multiple jobs!

    Ok, I feel like I was transported to an alternate dimension where these words mean something.

    I read the article, and it was full of references to other things I have no idea about.

    What the hell is a live service game?

      I like to imagine, “live service” is a buzzword so investors think that the game will constantly make money. After seeing how hard the Avengers game flopped I’m surprised they would announce this.

      A game that receives updates in a regular manner. There is an expectation that players support these updates by buying things, and to encourage this live service games tend to have things that try to be habit-forming or are available for limited periods of time, such as battlepasses.

      Destiny 2 is a live service game. Many of the voice actors in the game are employed to narrate lines as game expansions are released (dlc) over several years
