@Felthry babylons fall was a live service game platinum games released that was terrible and nobody liked it except one guy who kept playing it and was at multiple points the only person in the world playing the game on steam

@Felthry basically it was a cash grab and wasnt very good at being a game

@pup_hime Ah, so this is completely unsurprising, but perhaps a little schadenfreudeish

@Felthry yeah everyone hated it as soon as they said itd be a ~live service~ so its a bit of joy when it fails

@pup_hime What does "live service" mean exactly? Is it more than just being, like, an MMO or something?
-F

@Felthry basically its a game thats aimed at keeping you playing for as long as possible with updates and new content while selling you microtransactions

@pup_hime @Felthry MMOs used to be mostly subscription-based (which is a form of live service imo) but that's shifted I guess
