Ok, I feel like I was transported to an alternate dimension where these words mean something.

I read the article, and it was full of references to other things I have no idea about.

What the hell is a live service game?

Its a game that tries to get you to pay more after you already bought it. Widely considered to be a mark of a bad game.

I like to imagine, “live service” is a buzzword so investors think that the game will constantly make money. After seeing how hard the Avengers game flopped I’m surprised they would announce this.

A game that receives updates in a regular manner. There is an expectation that players support these updates by buying things, and to encourage this live service games tend to have things that try to be habit-forming or are available for limited periods of time, such as battlepasses.

Destiny 2 is a live service game. Many of the voice actors in the game are employed to narrate lines as game expansions are released (dlc) over several years
