    Who is these people that want this? And even if they do. Creating a good game does not need 500 people. And if you want to provide content after setup several small parallel teams to make cosmetics and stuff.

    But the whole live service is something the companies want. So they can keep monetizing it and turn if off once a new iteration is done.

      There are literally tens of millions of people who ONLY use their PS5 for CoD - a live service multiplayer game.

      A whole generation of people have literally never played a single player game and don’t know how to.
