Sega’s earnings report shows the F2P live service model is running out of road
Sega's latest earnings report indicates a significant downturn for the free-to-play and live service game model, with the company reporting a substantial loss despite increased net sales. This has led to drastic cutbacks on F2P titles, including the cancellation of its 'Super Game' project, and a major devaluation of its acquisition, Rovio. The report suggests a shift in player preference towards higher-quality, standalone titles with DLC over ongoing live service monetization.
