It also mentions that the unannounced title is planned to have a “live ops” phase post-release, suggesting that the Hogwarts Legacy sequel could be a live-service game. WB Games has been quite vocal about doubling down on its live-service push in recent times, seemingly unfazed by the failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

That’s all you need to know.

Live service games are not necessarily bad. It’s just most of the live service games releasing are bad games.

Counterpoint: it’s WB Games. Nothing they’ve done in the last few years gives me confidence that their suits won’t fuck things up in their attempts to wring ever more money out of their games.

Can’t really disagree tbh. Just fed up with the live service = bad game. It is often the case, because of how the live service or game itself is built, but not a rule.

Looks like there are several videos discussing it, but the one i watched was from Caelen Conrad.

Wow this was so out of my mind I’m surprised that the developers themselves didn’t forget this game came out.

The game made over a billion dollars but disappeared from the cultural zeitgeist almost immediately. Of course the publisher only cares about that first part, so unnecessary sequel it is!
