PS already had GaaS hits before like LBP, PS Home, GT Sport, GT7 and MLB to name a few of them.I can’t believe Playstation found their GaaS hit so soon and without much effort.
Bungie only review Bungie games, and Helldivers 2 isn't one of them.I hope Sony is smart enough to buy Arrowhead and, maybe, have THEM review other GaaS games instead of Bungie.
SIE Publishing, PS Studios and Bungie are together collaborating in the SIE Live Services Center of Excellence, where they created together some set of best practices, support and review the GaaS specific areas of all the SIE GaaS, which include all the GaaS from SIE (PS Studios + Bungie).
Some of the Helldivers 2 things this team approved and may even have suggested:
- No pay 2 win
- All purchasable items can also be unlocked for free
- No Battle Pass related FOMO: Battle Passes won't expire when they release new ones
- All future content to be added (new enemies, weapons, biomes, mission types, etc) will be free for all players
It must be a jokeAre they going to succeed?
