Ubisoft har mer än många andra omfamnat den så kallade "Games as Service"-modellen och implementerar det i allt fler av sina spel. Ett av de mest framgångsrika exemplen på detta är The Division som till efterföljaren kommer få mer live-element än tidigare, och Ubisoft menar rent av att spel inte bör ta slut alls.
Det är i en intervju med Games Beat som den nordamerikanska Ubisoft-chef Laurent Detoc säger såhär:
"In the case of The Division, we added gameplay. In the case of Rainbow Six: Siege, we added content. In the case of Ghost Recon: Wildlands, we built on the PvP mode six months later. You keep on adding to the experience, and you see people talk about it later. After a year and a half people said that The Division was the best it had ever been, and that helped bring in even more new people. A lot of the people who've played The Division came to the brand after patch 1.4. They saw the game in a much better state. When you look at that sentiment going from 30 to 80, a lot of people first came to the game when it was doing better. Now we're looking at Division 2 with a super happy community, very engaged and satisfied, and they're looking forward to the sequel.
That trend is certainly going to continue. Games don't end. They don't stop. We have to commit to making sure that they don't stop. When people understand that, they stay with them."
Vad tycker du själv om denna tendens?
Räkna med att The Division 2 kommer ha nytt att sysselsätta sig med under överskådlig tid.
