Live service (or Games as a Service) titles shook the gaming community in a bit of a recent pile up of games ending support for their titles, with games like Marvel's Avengers, Knock Out City, Rumbleverse, and many more announcing end of service or outright being cancelled before hitting the digital storefronts. Is this indicative of a problem with the type of game, and should PlayStation, who have made it known they have a number of games as a service titles in development, be worried about this development? We share our thoughts on this, how AAA gaming could use a shake-up of more Dead Space and Resident Evil 8 length titles, Alan Wake 2 getting an update on development and how important Remedy sees the IP internally, PS Plus switching things up by removing the PS Plus Collection benefit that PS5 has offered since launch, how we'd rate the PS5, look back at some listener push-back on a recent topic, and get a glimpse into YOUR video game character power couples! All this and more on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast. Join us!
