    there’s not enough money in live service anymore, so plenty of companies are getting cold feet when it comes to making games that can be killed anyway

    Got a source to back that up? I’d love for it to be true, but all I’ve ever heard is the opposite…

      And I thought there was a third example in recent weeks, but I’m struggling to find it right now. In place of that, you can look at the implosion of Sony’s live service efforts, with Marathon falling far short of making money, and for some reason Fairgames, rumored to now be called Break-In, will be the last one out the door after that Horizon live service. After that, I’d be shocked if they keep trying.
