How is this game "Live Service"?

Please, can anyone explain to me how this game is Live Service when we have to wait for MONTTHS until next major update for every bug from the biggest to the smallest, from non-critical to CRITICAL. I don't get it. The performance drop is so significant and it's not like they would say "Some users are experiencing...", it's not "some", ALL USERS ARE EXPERIENCING huge performance drops. It just boggles my mind how can they leave this for months until next update, but are saying how this game is "Live Service". I don't know maybe I missundersand the concept of "Live Service", but this just pisses me off. The thing is there are MANY issues that should be HOTFIXED - huge performance drops, weapon balances (K30, BSV-M, 12M Shotgun headshoting from across the map with Slugs), the new helis OP af, defending team on BT cannot choose a HELI (wtf!?), the BROKEN BP PROGRESSION SYSTEM (they can't do even basic math now - the system doesn't track correctly your points) and so on and so on and so on.... but yeah why should they hotfix it when they just can leave it there for months, but the Store updates are of course consistent, every week, on time, without any issues. 🙂

  • Weekly mission assignments to keep people playing and selling new cosmetics in the store every week = live service.

    Personally I don't find assignments fun because they feel like work and I like spending money on new maps, weapons, and vehicles.

    I see no value in 2042's live service. One new map after 7 months doesn't hold my interest.

    @OskooI_007 But doesn't this include hotfixing critical bugs and such? I want to play the game but half through the first game the performance drops from 90 - 40 fps, and I have to restart the game do fix it. How can they leave this for months like this...

    I guess fixing bugs is hard, but making new cosmetics is easy. EA hasn't figured out a way to sell bug fixes in the store yet.

    Live service is a legacy feature. This is zombie service
