Some Modern Examples:

Concord lasted two weeks.

Babylon’s Fall didn’t make it a year.

The First Descendant lost 97% of its players.,

skate. is fading fast, and its Steam reviews only recently clawed their way out of “Mixed",

Skull and Bones has probably shut down

KTLJ is a trainwreck, same with Gotham Knights

Even Marvel Rivals, the most “successful” newcomer, has dropped 90% of its audience since launch.

Marathon looks to be a failure

The “forever game” era also gave us LawBreakers, Battleborn, Anthem, and others that didn’t even make it past 1 or 2 years

Games built to be “forever experiences” are dying faster than the single-player titles they were supposed to replace, If live-service gaming was ever sustainable, we’d have more than a handful of survivors left.
