No one wants "games as a service" or always online games,.

These companies get what they deserve

What about people who want to play multiplayer games? Like, when I play Counterstrike in a ranked fashion I sort of expect the service part... Same for games like Overwatch, Valorant, Dota, League, etc.

I feel like you're missing a clarification of "No one wants Always Online or GaaS in single player or coop titles"?

When I played counter strike I expected no such thing. If I wanted skins, I could go get them for free on csbanana. I expected nothing more than a game and a dedicated server client. The rest was provided by the community.
