The Live-Service Collapse: Why the Model Is Failing and What Comes Next
Concord shut down after eight days on the market. XDefiant pulled the plug six months after launch. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League abandoned by Rocksteady themselves. In eighteen months, the live-service model went from safe investment to the industry's riskiest bet. Behind the obituaries lies a brutal reality: an economic model designed to last forever is dying fast. An investigation into systemic collapse, the executives who still refuse to believe it, and the studios that chose a different path.
