Why Buy Live Service Games If They’d Disappear. To top it all of, most of these games are 60 or 70 dollars at least. (www.gamescordia.com)

Multiversus is the strangest one. It came out like gangbusters, hotter than Salsa Picante de Mama Funkystein, then they shuttered it for over a year before releasing it again, at which point everyone had moved on. Why did they shutter it when it was hot?

Someone wanted to use it as a tax writeoff and didn't expect people to actually like it.

They were woefully unprepared to handle as many players as they got, because that game is built with a very small team. But if it wasn't a live service, they wouldn't have had to shutter it at all.

Rare correct usage of “going Gangbusters”.
