Every game executive and investor wants a Fortnight. That's why no matter how many times gamers reject it live service games will continue to be developed. Because AAA games are made for investors not players.
When God of War was popular, they wanted a God of War of their own.
When Call of Duty was popular, they wanted a Call of Duty of their own.
When Overwatch was popular, they wanted a Overwatch of their own.
When Fortnite was popular, everyone wants their own Fortnite.
Rinse and repeat.
I wonder what all the big publishers are pushing now. A Genshin? A Palworld?
Genshin-likes are being very popular in the east, this year we got Wuthering Waves (which is actually much better), and 2-3 years ago we got Tower of Fantasy (which was terrible), now the same studio from ToF announced Neverness to Everness which is the same concept of an open world anime action rpg but in an urban setting, suspiciously years after Project Mugen had been announced which is has the exact same premise.
