Here's what I say to the news of all of those Sony GaaS/"live service" games being canceled:
And yeah, the point Pat and Woolie made that these Sony wannabe "forever games" all would have been directly competing not just with the already established powerhouses from other companies but also with each other was a great point. Who the fuck has time to play seventeen different never-ending, time-devouring games at once? I don't have the time, interest, or inclination to play even one of those pieces of shit, but that's just me. And, fuck, I say to hell forever with even the "successful" ones, too, like Fortnite or whatever. In my not at all humble opinion, Fortnite was one of the worst things to happen to the modern video game industry as a whole, up there with shit like Denuvo and NFT games and such (and not just because it also let Epic fund the creation of Epically Gangrenous Shitpuddle).
Another name for the Modern Triple-A Video Game Industry™ easily could be "Sunk Cost Fallacy: The Industry."
The sooner all this shit finally crashes, explodes, and burns to the ground, the better. At this point, it's just gliding along, wobbling, stuttering, barely above tree level, belching smoke, engines on fire, parts falling off, and money spewing like a ruptured sewer pipe out of the cargo hold to be forever lost to the four winds.
