More than 40% of all US PS5 and Xbox play time last month was spent on 10 live service games
Players are trying fewer new games because of live services…
I got MMO trash out of my system 20 years ago. You can't pay me to play a live service game now.
You got 20 years of dailies backlogged! All the FOMO on the seasons!
I try to stay a patient gamer. If you do you're usually rewarded with a discounted, patched up game with content it probably should have launched with. The exception I've been using for myself recently for AAA games is, is a the game a single player experience with no micro-transactions? If yes, I'll buy it day one or close to it. I do want to show them that I'm willing to pay full price for these games if they aren't predatory pieces of shit.
Spent last month playing only Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky. And Disney+ but I'm assuming they mean game play time.
Play time =/= QUALITY game time GaaS are designed to keep player busy while single player games are meant to be finished.
@sculd @theangriestbird I'm super happy that I started to play mostly indie or niche games, it's super rare I buy a AAA title. Mostly because the game play does feel identical to previous titles or close to other games of that genre without adding any own ideas.
The indie sector is so much more creative and often there are really deep game mechanics. I really do enjoy exploring those, big thank you to all indie developers for being creative and working hard.

@sculd @theangriestbird I do know that developers creating AAA titles do work hard as well to deliver a well polished game trying to fulfill the demand of the community and that it's hard to be as creative as a indie studio if you need to keep a really high graphic and performance standard. Thank you for making those games as well.
But I like to dive deep into mechanics of games and don't care that much about graphics.
