 live service trap


'Halo Infinite' fell into the live service trap. Everyone hopes it gets out soon.

Washington Post - Technology News

Sustaining the promise of live service may not appear a huge task for a major studio, but having the capacity to fill out a regular schedule of content for such games is a herculean challenge. Activision-Blizzard famously assigned many of its talented studios to support its Call of Duty games instead of creating new, original games. Its "Call of Duty: Warzone" free-to-play service runs at a tight clip with constant updates, even in between its bimonthly seasons. "Halo Infinite," by comparison, has been listless. All eyes point toward May, six months after its initial release, for the launch of its Season 2 battle pass.
