Mat Piscatella, executive director of analysis firm Circana, said that monthly, non-mobile, video-game subscription spending in the US “has been flat to low single-digit growth” since the middle of 2021.

Good. Now that we've established that the subscription-based videogame market is pretty much saturated with very little potential for growth, can we please stop shoveling out all this live service crap? It didn't work for Bioware, it didn't work for Rocksteady Studios and it didn't work for Arkane Austin. Stop it.
