Fucking hell
Why does everything new coming out have to be a goddamn live service?? Don’t you have a blood dragon 2 to develop Ubisoft??
- I think people largely have stopped buying them, apart from very few exceptions, which is why games like Hyenas get cancelled at the finish line and why we've got a graveyard of live services that shut down just this year. Second Extinction didn't make it out of early access. Rumbleverse didn't even last one year.
- Yeah, but this game is in development after HyperScape and that cancelled Ghost Recon multiplayer game.

Why can't we just have cool multiplayer modes in games instead of a separate game?
- Honestly, I prefer this, as long as the single player option is unaffected by the multiplayer component's performance, and the resources allotted to the SP game don't suffer because of the MP.
  
  Historically, some of the best multiplayer components attached to single player games were done with very few resources in a matter of weeks, like Halo and Goldeneye.
- I liked how FEAR did it back in the day. The multiplayer was a separate game you could download for free and play. Then, if you liked the game, you could pay for the single player.

This sounds awesome, extraction shooters are a genre I’m glad is taking off
- Same, but I'm still eagerly waiting for someone to do the genre better then Tarkov. But so far, nothing has scratched the itch like Tarkov.
  
  Fair! The place I’ve played it most is a VR mod called Escape from Pavlov, so it was a bit basic feature-wise but still a ton of fun
  
  I've been a long time Marathon fan and I think the new game has the potential for greatness. The art style is out of this world

Not the biggest fan of extraction shooters, but the permadeath mechanic sounds interesting. Although I'm not sure how common that is in this kind of game.
- I know Hunt: Showdown has a similar mechanic, and might be the most popular one outside of Tarkov
