Right. Wasn't Overwatch considered live service? I put tons of hours into it before they shut it down permanently.

I put tons of hours into it before they shut it down permanently.

Which is one of the major problems with Live Service. Sure, not everyone plays older games, but I know I have a number of titles I return to regularly. Hell, one of my favorite games of all times was released in 1989 and I still go back an re-play it from time to time. Any game which releases as "Live Service" and requires an always on-line connection to some server which I don't host can go eat a bag of dicks.

Hell, if they can at least be decent enough to ALLOW self-hosting servers, that'd be great
