It’s hard to properly convey everything that runs through my brain when I see something like this. Here’s the bullet points: - It’s not surprising - It was yet another live service shooter - It went out similar to Concord - Concord was $40, this was free - Another case of “from the developers of *insert popular game* comes a new studio and IP - It didn’t have a wildly unique art/character appeal - It was the “one last thing” moment at The Game Awards - It was not a bad game - Many were not only disinterested, but actively rooted for its failure for entertainment It would be easy to come to the conclusion that “no one wants this live service slop, so quit trying” but that isn’t true. - It’s not slop, it’s a well crafted game by a talented team - Many do want live service (Fortnite, Arc Raiders, Apex: Legends, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals) - It’s potentially far more profitable than any AAA single player game could ever be So what is the take away? Highguard was a familiar looking live service title that people assumed would fail right away. It had a bad spot at The Game Awards, people clowned on it and despite being a quality game, “good” is not enough anymore. Yet, live service games (even familiar ones like Arc and Marathon being Tarkov or Marvel Rivals being Overwatch) still have the potential and the appeal to really go places. The only thing I can say is, we’re nowhere near the end of seeing more games like this, it’s too profitable to not try, but it’s also the killing blow if every star doesn’t align. It just makes me sad. I’m a single player only gamer, so none of this appeals to me, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. There’s plenty for me to play and seeing failure brings me no joy.

It’s a sign of something extremely ominous that during a time of massive social upheaval seemingly no one can produce even passably interesting art about what we are all living through.
