No Service is Eternal: The Fall of Live Service and the Return of IP Assets

We live in an era where 'eternal games' that cost hundreds of billions of won shut down overnight, causing development studios to collapse. 🎮 In a rapidly changing market, what is the ultimate weapon for a game to capture gamers' hearts and survive? 🤔

While Bungie recently conducted large-scale layoffs following the shutdown of 'Destiny 2' services, 'Odin' reclaiming the top revenue spot, alongside the return of historic IP-based titles like 'Tsukihime' and 'Cardcaptor Sakura', presents a stark contrast in the market. The flood of classic IP reimaginings across all platforms is not a mere coincidence, but a survival strategy in today's market. This suggests that the risks of the live-service model, which demands constant operational costs and causes player fatigue, have reached a boiling point. Consumers are increasingly growing tired of Games-as-a-Service (GaaS) that demand endless spending and time commitment, shifting their consumer sentiment back toward packaged games with a definitive end and high collectible value, or reliable, familiar IPs. \*\*Ultimately, the future of the gaming industry will be restructured on the grave of live services that require infinite maintenance, shifting toward diversifying IPs with established fandoms and maximizing collectible value.\*\* Large developers' reckless obsession with live services only leads to the sacrifice of development teams and a sense of betrayal among players; protecting the value of proven IP assets has now become the safest investment. If a game on an online server that you have poured years of affection and money into disappears tomorrow, what is left for us as gamers? It is time to deeply reflect on a sustainable gaming ecosystem and the true value of ownership. ✉️
