Hey baby I think we Havel lot in common
I think that "live service" as a concept is preferable to preorder-gated content, "season passes," and loot box mechanics where the loot boxes can be purchased with real or virtual currency.

But publishers will find ways to make "live services" into something ever more terrible. I know this in advance.

Actually, at my age, I'm really just too old and tired to keep up with all of the nonsense that goes along with the hobby of playing video games. But at the same time I am happy to see the game playing consumer base really start calling bullshit on publisher antics. I remember a time when publishers had $5.00/minute "tip lines" that you could call to get cheat codes.
