Live Service Game Crash & Burn: 10 Games That Couldn't Make It

Live service is becoming more and more of a gamble with each passing year, and these games represent a mere handful of those that lost the b

After the incredible successes of Overwatch, Destiny and later Apex Legends it seemed like the future of AAA gaming was the live service model. “Forever” games, which would continually provide players with new content to enjoy and makers with potentially endless revenue. And, for a time, that future proved to be true. Several more massive hits like Escape from Tarkov and Helldivers 2 carved out their own audiences, and it seemed the live service train would keep on rolling. It’s become quite clear over the past few years that the track isn’t endless, however, and the following games are but a handful of those that crashed and burned because of it.
