Sony supposedly wants to launch 10 live service games within the next four years. This is why they spent such a premium for Bungie. Though I am not sure why, ND MTX’d the shit out of Last of Us, so they have at least one studio who knows how to do it.
I still think this is for Bungie’s GaaS technology. Which makes it a smart buy for Sony if they’re going all in. They’ll recoup that money easily with ten live service games. edit, guess I was right about MS passing based on price. They didn’t even want to pay two billion. |
TLOU 1 MP was most definitely not a live service game. |
Nope but it was chock full of the same type of MTX that games like Destiny are (though ND went worse with pay to win nonsense).
ND can clearly make a live service game. In fact I’d count on their Factions stand-alone game being very GaaS. And I don’t want to come across as hating GaaS. If done right, they’re the best way for games to be done. Lots do them right, lots don’t. Destiny is one that doesn’t imho. Neither does Halo Infinite.
