"If you've followed this industry's buzzword-infused gibberish for a while, you'll like have heard of the term, "Games-as-a-service." It's about turning games from one-time purchases into ongoing experiences, usually with an injection of microtransactions or DLC.
It's also totally dishonest, justifying all manner of shoddy business practices, broken launches, and con jobs.

I don't know why everybody is saying that the Digital Homicide interview was 'cringeworthy'. I listened to the entire thing and found it a hilarious trainwreck.
