Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

If anyone else, like me, doesn't know what a 'live service game' is, this is the definition from the article:
If anyone has a simpler and more succinct definition, please do share ❤️
Live service means "forced online with a trash content treadmill to maximize FOMO".
Also very succinct and to the point, thank you! 😊👌
Live service typically means a game that continuously delivers content, typically on a schedule. Think Destiny 2, Fortnight, etc
Perfect, thank you, that's a lot easier to understand! ❤️
I personally don't play any online and/or multiplayer games, so the term was new to me.
