A survey shows most developers are unsure of the sustainability of these large online games
A newly published survey shows that most game developers aren’t too sure about live-service video games—like Destiny 2 and Suicide Squad—representing a sustainable future for the industry, and think the return of paid DLC might be a better option instead. The Game Developer Collective is a panel of over 600 game devs created by Game Developer, Omdia, and GDC. These devs were interviewed earlier this year about live-service games.
62 percent also admitted they were afraid that other big games would steal away their players. Also revealed in the survey: 57 percent said it will be difficult to hold players’ interest long term. Regardless of how a big online game loses players, the end result is rarely good for those involved. A live-service game failing and shutting down can lead to layoffs and studio closures.
