Just because some games have certain content on disk doesn’t mean others would. At some stage a game has to be cut for release and is “content complete” for printing. With live service games they continue creating content to sell in-game. With non live service games they don’t.

If you’re going to bring mods into it then that’s a completely different conversation.

Dropping their own proprietary engine and moving to unreal is a pretty big story actually.

They’ve been live service games since Halo 3 though, so you haven’t liked them since then?

You clearly don’t understand what “live service” games are if that’s what you think.

What did PUBG copy paste and from what? Overwatch? Diablo? Battlefield? Counter strike? Forza horizon and Motorsport?

Your definition of them seems to be a super narrow scope of basically a F2P mobile game.

OK cool so you’ve never played a live service game. Just say that next time.

That content wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t a live service game.

They’ve explicitly talked about this, the game is entirely playable offline after the delisting.

Yeah that’s literally what live service games are 😂. Would love to hear what they would call them, but doubt we’ll get a response.

This game is 100% offline playable now with all dlc and microtransactions included for like $4.

Every single element of these games isn’t designed to make you want to spend money 😂. Going by your hate for them along with that terrible comment shows that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Almost every single live service game now just has optional cosmetics as the microtransactions. That’s the opposite of what you’re saying.

That’s strange because I’ve spent about $15 all up on micro transaction since they became a thing yet I have tens of thousands of hours in live service games and I’ve had a ball.

Physical and digital copies will still work, they’ve made that explicitly clear.

Is it? What’s yours then?

Huh? I bought it because one day one of my kids might want to play it, or I might however unlikely.

Why are you trying to stop people buying it, just because you don’t like constantly updated games? Why are you against them?

That’s fair enough even though I don’t think digital purchases are ever going away.

I do support live service games though. I prefer them and that’s pretty much all I ever play.

What they’ve done with handling this game in delisting it is quite frankly fantastic - get rid of all micro transactions and bundle every single one with the game and basically give the game away for free at its end of life. Now anyone what wants to play it like a regular single player offline game can for a few bucks, and I believe are least in pc it uses steam for online play so it will still be playable multiplayer. Everyone wins.

But but but but $1 loophole and free trials?!?!? /s

Happy GPU subscriber here. It has changed how I buy games, for the better for my finances especially if you ask my wife haha

I’ll probably never play it but for that price it’s worth the risk.

Thomas’s comments following the resignation of advisory group member Assoc Prof Marlene Longbottom, who claimed she would not work with police again. Indigenous activist Gracelyn Smallwood also quit in protest in March, saying she no longer believed her work would lead to “necessary changes”.

An indigenous advisory board that the indigenous people on it are quitting because they feel nothing is being done. Pretty relevant at the moment.

Google’s tight grip is because of Google play services, not AOSP. Without Google play services AOSP is useless for 99% of people.
