Horizon Hunters Gathering Should Be the Nail in the Coffin for Live-Service Games

Horizon Hunters Gathering is one of the many live-service games that Sony has been incubating, but negative playtest feedback from earlier this year has reportedly caused Guerrilla Games to pivot and allegedly get rid of the game's entire live-service component. Discourse surrounding Horizon Hunters Gathering has been complicated, as many fans of the Horizon series have been quite vocal about wanting a third mainline chapter instead of a live-service spin-off. This report comes from Jason Schreier at Bloomberg, and if his words are accurate, it sounds like Guerrilla Games has taken fan and tester feedback to heart.
