@oriiyon@eepy.moe Minecraft is a fascinating case. It's not a centralized live service game, but it sort of acts like one? Updates to the core game bring players back to revitalize their buddies' always-on servers.
That said, I agree that it probably doesn't have to be that way. It's already an infinitely moddable infinite world. You could spend the rest of your life enjoying Minecraft as it is, and I doubt it would be "dead" as an experience.

@oriiyon@eepy.moe The review above was for V Rising, which is indeed also a game where a friend hosts a server and people come and go building stuff. So the vitality of a persistent world matters. That said, it's also a game with a clear main progression and final boss. If you get a group of people together, you play for some fifty hours or whatever making castles and eating people, and that kinda exhausts what there is to do... that's not a tragedy? A good time was had by all!
