Anyone want to bet it will be a live service?

    I’m pretty sure I saw another article from the CEO saying that WB Games core strategy is to monetize everything as much as possible by making it all live service, all of their major IPs.

    Sounds like they’re just lying for this one, hoping it’ll blow over by release and everybody will forget the promises they made.

    What exactly is their incentive to lie?

    If they are making a live service game, they must believe that there are enough people who like that to make it viable. I don’t see how them lying about it now would lead to more sales later.

    So if they say it’s not live service, I’m inclined to believe them. That doesn’t mean the game is going to be good.

    Can you explain 'live service ’ to a non-gamer? And what is DRM? I scroll all and keep seeing these terms with no explanation. I’d just like to understand the conversation that I’m obviously late to.
