Well it's not gonna be a live service game in 12 days anyway. So please don't buy it.

Huh? I bought it because one day one of my kids might want to play it, or I might however unlikely.

Why are you trying to stop people buying it, just because you don’t like constantly updated games? Why are you against them?

Because literally every live service game ever made goes out of their way to constantly dictate your engagement with it in a way that is exclusively designed for the sole purpose of taking money from you.

There are no exceptions. There is no game that has ever done live service in a way that is in any way forgivable.

I've been playing Dota more than a decade, the game that technically introduce Battle Pass. I don't even feel pressured to buy microtransaction, the community even disappointed when Valva stop selling the yearly battle pass

Everyone should grab a copy of warcraft 3 with TFT (not reforged!) and jump on W3Connect for some old school DotA. No filler, all killer.
