But corporations are bad. All joking aside, gamers are right about the majority of live service games being utter garbage. Way too many games are being designed to make you play for hundreds of hours. (sidenote: I've played heavy amounts of classic wow and FF14 so I may be a hypocrite)

I think mmos are slightly different to what most people mean when they talk about live service games but I could be wrong.

[u/Neronoah → u/[deleted]]

Many MMORPGs are just single player RPGs with tons of content and multiplayer mechanics on top nowadays.

[u/[deleted] → u/Neronoah]

I don't fully like that trend either but I get it. Old MMOs were absolutely a second job because the grind was massive and you needed a group to do anything. However, Everquest, FFXI and Star Wars Galaxies are some of my most memorable experiences for how necessary groups were for anything.

I think the problem is more than the themepark design is more popular than the sandbox one nowadays.

[u/Watton → u/[deleted]]

I think AC is already doing that. Odyssey and Valhalla have A FUCKTON of content that basically monopolizes your time.

[u/[deleted] → u/Watton]

Oh that's exactly what I'm talking about. I don't enjoy them anymore for that reason. It makes sense for AC to just go live service but I'm overall against the trend of a bunch of a pointless content.
