What I hate the most about Live Service, second only to monetization, is the Fear Of Missing Out element that is used for psychological warfare against gamers. From a lot of online discourse that I've seen most people, myself included, see the battle passes, limited events, daily logins and all of those elements designed to keep you hooked and just decide not to even bother with it and its 100% the correct decision, the one time where NOT playing a game is actually a win for gamers.

So Machine Games is the OG team behind Starbreeze who made The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay back in 2004. You can clearly see the influences in Indiana Jones. Fun fact I were an intern at their previous studio before they became Starbreeze. They were call O3Games and I remember they were super nice and they taught me 3d animation in Lightwave, and we played Sega Dreamcast which was just out in Japan. But we did "work" too, as beta testers for there game Outforce(a strategy game in space). Good times!
