    What exactly is games-as-a-service? Is that like a monthly payment so you never own the game? Cause fuck that noise.

      When I first heard it used in the late 90’s/early 2000’s when MMOs started taking off, it applied to subscription games with continued dev support.

      These days it’s generally referring to season passes and continued dev support by way a slow drip feed of MTX content.

      Either way: I’m not a fan.
