As CEO of Bungie, Harold Ryan helped push the live-service style ahead with Halo and Future. Years after leaving Bungie, Ryan says he is noticed that followers are talking with their wallets and telling publishers that live-service is “not acceptable” for all video games.
“I feel that mannequin is acceptable for some video games, however I do not assume it is acceptable for all video games,” Ryan advised GI.biz. “And I consider customers are telling us it isn’t acceptable for all customers.”
