For quite a while, I couldn’t find a reason to share my thoughts publicly. There are so many people who know more than I do, whose experience I deeply admire and celebrate. Until now, I’ve been a grateful reader and consumer of your knowledge. But earlier this year, when I attended the Live Service Gaming Summit, listening to the all the great speakers I felt it was time to break the silence. ✨ My main motivation is to connect with people who share the same values and passions as I do. LinkedIn is, after all, a professional network—and this year has shown me how much more fulfilling it is to work with people who truly understand and share my beliefs. In addition, I want to make my experience in software development more structured and start giving back to the community. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me! 🌟

Why Do Live Service Games Struggle – And What Can Be Done to Ensure Success? The rise and fall of live service games have been one of the most fascinating and challenging dynamics in the gaming industry. While the model holds immense potential, achieving long-term success presents significant challenges. The Challenges Live Service Games Face: 🎮Unrealistic Competition - Competing alongside long-established successful games such as Warcraft, Fortnite, or Destiny 2. With the success stories being redefined over years or sometimes decades, a new game needs to dramatically outperforms its competitors to ensure success. 💰 High Costs and Sustainability - The cost of maintaining live service game with updates, development costs, operating servers, and engaging a player base is immense. A “launch it now, fix it later” mentality simply doesn’t work. 👥 Player Loyalty to Established Games - Players build routines, social circles, and nostalgia around their favorite live-service titles. Convincing someone to leave behind years of progress, friendships, and familiarity for a new game is a monumental challenge. The barriers to switching are high, and nostalgia for older games often keeps players anchored.   What’s Needed for Live Service Games to Thrive: 🌟 Differentiation is Key - Games need to offer something truly unique—be it innovative gameplay, immersive storytelling, or social experiences that stand apart. 🛠️ Plan for Longevity from Day One - Players need to see that a live-service game is built for the long haul. This means having a clear roadmap, strong post-launch support, and an unwavering focus on delivering value rather than chasing quick monetisation wins. 💬 Prioritize the Player Experience - Developers must listen to feedback, foster inclusive spaces, and create systems that reward loyalty and long-term investment. 📊 Budget Wisely - Success in live service gaming is a marathon, not a sprint. Ensuring financial sustainability, even if growth is slower than expected, is crucial. What do you think? How can live service games evolve to meet these challenges in 2025? Let’s discuss! #GameDevelopment #LiveServiceGames #Innovation #PlayerExperience #LSGSummit #GamingIndustry
