I'm not judging the game one way or another. I'm arguing about the blind hate when term "live service" gets mentioned. It can be done right and some people like having a game that can be their main game and gets updated regularly. Most live services are bad because the live service element is tacked on to make more money or the developement focused on making a live service, but not a good game.

I reserve my judgment. Most likely this one will not be done in a good way, WB certainly doesn't inspire confidence. But people act as if live service = bad game which is not always true. Lately it is, yes, but it's not a rule set in stone.

I can agree with that, and I have to admit in biased against both jkr and live service games cause I'm a preservationist - but neither of those really define others enjoyment lol
