Look, I like living games. Its fun seeing the world change week to week, playing with my friends and family, and getting the latest expansion packs. But I have time for ONE of them...ONE. If I am already playing a living games, I got about 2 years on it before I think swapping to another. If your single/multiplayer game is a living game, I'm not picking it up, because I already have my living game Im playing and wont have time for yours. If youre trying to pull me off my current living game, youre going to have a hell of a hard time, because I invested a lot of time already and you need to do something SPECTACULAR to turn that away. On top of that, know that the current living game has had years to improve and is still pumping out content on a regular basis.
So if you are doing your cost risk analysis on a living game, just know that it is more than likely I am not playing your game. In fact, I might have bought your game if it WASNT a living game, because I know I could set aside time for it. But if it takes me 90 hours to play your living game, and I have the option to play 6 other games in that same time frame instead....Im playing those other games. And if your living game has a sequel? Oh boy, well you better make sure the first one has been over for like a year before I get excited about a sequel. Because I dunno if I want to start that grind all over and I certainly dont know if Im actually done with the first yet.
If I was asked if I like living games? I would say YES I love them! So cool how they do all these changes throughout the year.
If I was asked if I would play more than one of these at any given time? Hell no. I dont have time for that.
