Different games are made for different people. If you don’t find a genre or model fun, their existence doesn’t ruin anything for you.
Live service games have been around for decades.
It does ruin it for you when the next installment of the game you like is barely a pinky promise that 5 years from now there’ll be enough content to play something. Live service is gaming cancer
Fallout 76 didn’t ruin New Vegas
Ultima online wasn’t a “cancer” to the gaming industry
I wish Final Fantasy XIV ruined the franchise so we didn’t get the abomination that is the latest two installments.
Greedy shit developers make shit products, no surprise. But GemStone, Asheron’s Call, World of Warcraft (the early years, I can’t speak to the latest) and other forms of long-term games offer a chance to experience a world for years in an additive environment instead of waiting for the next installment of starting at ground zero again.
This isn’t about game type or genre. This is about putting an expiration date on a game as soon as its callsed a “live service”
If you want to play the same game over and over, there are plenty of those.
Live games are for ever-changing environments.
