    My take on live service games has always been if you make it live service you should also make a retirement plan so people can still play the game they paid for after the servers are shut down.

      I mostly wish that companies were upfront about how long the service will last.

      From day of release can they guarantee at least 3 years of server time? 5 years? 10? It would factor a lot into whether or not I think a game is worth the purchase. Especially if you’re buying it 4-5 years after release and it can shut down any day.
