What games would you consider to be GaaS? What GaaS games are good or bad?

I guess there are a couple GAAS games I'm playing.

GT Sport, although it's no longer really supported. It had free monthly content updates for a couple years, but requires always online and ps+ to play the main mode of the game. You can also buy cars with real money which isn't really needed for playing the game, but a slippery slope nonetheless.

FS2020, a 10 year project. Released incomplete and full of bugs, but gets free content and sim updates alternating between the two. There is no online charge while actually using online for once (2 petabytes of content on the server) but is sustained by selling airports, scenery and additional planes on the marketplace.

Beat Saber, frequent release of more music packs.

My kids play Fortnite and the peer pressure for season passes is insane. Same with Ark, got to have the new map to keep up with their friends.


For racing and other sim games GAAS is not so bad, as long as the price is right, ie no need to fork out more to be able to continue playing the game. RPGs and story driven games are completely unsuited for GAAS imo. I want to buy a complete story, complete it, and be done with it. No waiting for episodes, dlc, shit to get fixed, fallout 76 nonsense.
