Dropping the first bit of proper news on Steam since early 2024 after the release of Battlefield 6 is certainly a choice - BattleBit Remastered is still alive.
Does it have an offline single-player or offline anything? If it doesn’t, that’s live service, that’s not a game… it’d instead be a subscription-based shooter movie that you just so happened to be the protagonist of.
That’s called a dark pattern, which I don’t fall for all that often. I’d just take the F2P route, and I wouldn’t care if I missed out on something where I’d shell out real money for it.

That’s not what live service or Games As A Service means.
It’s about continued, PAID FOR content being added to the game on a predetermined schedule, where old content is phased out and no longer obtainable.
Often with two tiers of unlockables; one for regular/free players, and the other for premium/battlepass owners.

Again, no…
A dark pattern is when the UI tricks you into doing shit you didn’t want. Like signing up for Prime on Amazon when you didn’t want it.
