Context: Aside from Marathon missing the mark on its early playtests and getting mediocre reviews, Bungie was caught copy/pasting stolen art into a lot of the game’s art and textures. The company is internally under fire.

    I don’t know of the statistics, so yes, I can’t say for sure sp employs more people than live service. But in my opinion live service games are more risky and harmful to the industry as a hole.

    But my original comment was about how it doesn’t matter if they created jobs or not because they are trying to replace everyone with AI. Coders, designers, artists… So it doesn’t matter sp or live service. They want to not employ anyone and run casinos

      Sorry but if you think AAA studios aren‘t doing the exact same then I‘ve got a bridge to sell to you.

        No I assume they’re all AAA - sp and live service.

        And I don’t have any delusions about them not doing this for sp as well. Hence the comment about how shitty the industry is in general.

        I just think games that call themselves live service aren’t games. (Not multiplayer games that also happen to be live service)
