315. 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. What I like to think of as the AAA adaptation of mobile gaming mechanics and MMO hits like World of Warcraft, wrapped in a blockbuster console game setting. Player retention, daily logins, battle passes - buzzwords that are part and parcel with the Games as a Service business model permeate throughout these titles that vie for our hard-earned time and money.
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. A system that consists of some sort of persistent online world, a gameplay loop designed to be engaging (usually) with constant daily events, new loot and bigger content drops that add new wrinkles every so often. All with the intent of keeping players engaged for years.

There are few games that manage to reach the extremely fast pace of WarioWare. This series collects many extremely short minigames, combining them into one big package of rapidly-changing fun.

Instead, he simply provides the groundwork for wacky minigames players wouldn’t find anywhere else. That just makes it more interesting to see how well all WarioWare games are ranked amongst themselves in terms of copies sold. After all, these games are popular for more reasons than brand recognition.
