    If 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 ❤️

      Live service typically means a game that continuously delivers content, typically on a schedule. Think Destiny 2, Fortnight, etc

        Perfect, thank you, that’s a lot easier to understand! ❤️

        I personally don’t play any online and/or multiplayer games, so the term was new to me.
