✍️ Gaming Industry Trends & Market Insights

The End of the Glamorous Mirage of 'Live Service' and a Return to Core Value

The illusion of 'live service' games, once believed to be long-term cash cows, is finally shattering. Why are global gaming companies facing crises turning their attention back to 'proven IPs' and 'single-player' experiences?

The recent news of Quantic Dream canceling its new live-service project and laying off staff highlights the harsh reality of the industry. On the other hand, Warhorse Studios' development of a 'Lord of the Rings' RPG and the craze of remaking traditional classic IPs clearly represent the industry trend of pivoting toward proven core values instead of high-risk live services. 🎮 This shift is causing significant changes in consumers' \*\*game consumption structure and psychology\*\*. Gamers, fatigued by live-service games that feel like daily homework and demand endless microtransactions, are now rapidly returning to high-quality, one-time experiences or games based on trusted IPs. To avoid legal risks arising from excessive monetization designs, companies are also shifting their focus toward well-made, packaged-type games. 📉 Ultimately, the gaming industry has entered a \*\*transition period, abandoning the mirage of 'sustainable live service' and returning to the 'essence of content' with clear gameplay value\*\*. Instead of sophisticated monetization models designed to keep opening players' wallets, creating well-made content that offers a deep sense of immersion, even if only once, has become the safest and most reliable investment formula. 💡 In the future, the gaming market will be led by titles with solid narratives and depth, rather than service-type games with only a flashy exterior. Between a game you must log into daily as an obligation and a collectible game that delivers a single, perfect narrative, which one would you willingly open your wallet for? 🤔
