A survey shows that 70 percent of developers are extremely concerned about the continued existence of the live service model.
From a survey by Game developerwhich surveyed 600 developers between February and March, shows growing concern that the live service model is coming to an end. Although it is now common practice to provide games with new content even after release, there seems to be a fear that this will soon no longer be the case.
39 percent of those surveyed said they were quite concerned about the future prospects for the live service model, and 31 percent said they were even very concerned. However, according to a quarter of those surveyed, there is no cause for concern.
While the live service model requires the ongoing development of new content, it also ensures long-term customer loyalty as well as a continuous financial inflow from just one title. This is precisely why many companies rely on a live service model and Warner Bros. Discovery, for example, recently emphasized that it wanted to continue to dedicate itself to live service and free-to-play games.
During the Morgan Stanley conference it became clear that the four major franchises Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, DC and Harry Potter play a role for Warner Bros. Discovery. The aim is to take a holistic approach, as JB Perrette, CEO of Global Streaming and Games at Warner Bros. Discovery, explained.
