That’s precisely the thing I hope we’ve finally hit a turning point on, and that we have some evidence that we’ve hit that turning point. The metaphorical landfill filled with dead games as a service got so many more games this year. Especially because so many of these games are designed to monopolize your time, perhaps they’ll realize there isn’t enough time on earth to dedicate to this game when it’s already being dedicated to 100 other games. Then they can come to the conclusion that there’s more money to be made in 5 short experiences than 1 game that you’re intended to play indefinitely.
I hope so too but I feel like we’ve not hit there yet. In some ways the sort of online, account creation requirement will grow and grow. To play single-player games now, you need to login to some random service.
Yeah, that’s why I stopped buying EA games and why I didn’t buy Tony Hawk. I’m not alone in the forums when asking about that stuff, and we’ll see how much momentum that carries.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
