“That’s kinda the main problem, they don’t want to make a game which gamers like. They want to make one which they will buy,” replied Projectdystopia. “And the less effort needed for bigger profit, the more they want to make such a game.”

“Overwatch 2is universally hated and probably has made more money thanBaldur’s Gate 3with half the effort,” claimed Character-Today-427 to which TopHatMcFenbury responded, “Half is an insult to Larian Studios.”

“I used to loveDestiny. My main turn-offs are the ever-worsening microtransactions and the rampant failure to provide good content and make the changes that players have wanted for years,” exclaimed Swordbreaker925.

Defending the honour of live-service games done right (and rightly so), echoing many of the other users in the Reddit thread, dd179 said: “Y’all are here acting as if freakingFortniteis not the most popular game in the world and has been for the past five years.” Ryozu replied: “Yeah like, if gamers didn’t want it, then why are they gobbling it up?” Both are very valid points.
