The Over-justification Effect of Games as a Service A goal that you set yourself is more powerful than a goal that is set for you. Over this current and passing generation of gaming consoles, we've witnessed the rise of the almighty live service game.

To quote a good friend - the "ecosystem" has become the dirtiest word in the industry, with developers and publishers alike looking for ways to keep players engaged long-term. What started with the odd PC only expansion model in the 90's, blossomed into DLC, Season Passes and now Games as a Service.

All with the intent of keeping players engaged for years. 316.
