Honestly, I get why fans are worried. Live service games can be hit or miss, and with Sony’s recent attempts, it’s hard not to be skeptical. The whole esports angle could mean more focus on competitive play, which might alienate those of us who just want a solid, story-driven experience. I really hope they find a way to balance it out. If they can nail the gameplay and keep it fun without all the usual live service pitfalls, it could be cool. But yeah, I’ll be keeping my expectations in check for now.
Honestly, I get why fans are worried about this new PlayStation Studios game. Live service titles can be hit or miss, and with Sony’s recent attempts in that area not exactly blowing everyone away, it’s understandable that people are feeling cautious. The idea of adding esports and competitive elements sounds cool on paper, but it also raises flags about whether they’ll prioritize fun gameplay or just chase after that sweet, sweet revenue. I really hope they find a balance because we need more solid multiplayer experiences that don’t feel like cash grabs. Fingers crossed they pull it off!
