minus-square@renard_roux@beehaw.orglinkfedilink1•edit-25 months agoIf anyone else, like me, doesn’t know what a ‘live service game’ is, this is the definition from the article: The survey defines live services as any regular update cadence planned for a game. The report notes that traditional game development is two-three years long, while live production is more than five years. If anyone has a simpler and more succinct definition, please do share ❤️
