SFIV counts too, how many new characters and outfits did they flog after the game came out? That's GaaS right there.

Surely FIFA and still COD and GTAV are bigger? I have NO CLUE if that's true but if Destiny is the biggest thing in gaming that's wild. GTAV I'd say is basically a service now.
I guess Warcraft too?

The PS4 may well have the cuntpad, the cunt OS, the cunt wifi, but you know what that breeds? It breeds us, the cunt gamer. Living with so much cunt day in, day out, it turns you into the deepest, darkest cunt of death. You become a cunt so rotten, so diseased that even Saville would think twice about fucking it. But to become this cunt, you transcend mere cunthood. You become King Cunt. A cunt for the ages. The cunt that all other cunts look up to, that all other cunts believe in on the 25th December when they put their stockings up by the open fire and we just piss pure cunt into them, and come the morning, those ordinary everyday cunts fucking bathe in our piss cunt juice. They don't understand our secret, that to become King Cunt you need the Sir Cunt of all consoles, the PScunting4.
Without that you can swim in a fucking river of piss cunt but you'll never be a true, red-blooded King Cunt. We get to play Bloodborne with its cunted framerate and its cunted loading times. We live the cunt life day to day, one eye on the broken cunt wifi, one eye on the streets. We got targets on our back because everyone wants to be King Cunt, even the Bone users as they cry their lowly cunt tears as they boot up Sunny D Overdrive and realise that something so bright and chaotic will never give them a throne on King Cunt Mountain. They're cunts that are lacking, they're cunts that Rolf Harris would fuck without a second thought. They're bang average cunts.
Also I received this anonymous PM from someone revealing what these ordinary, average cunts do day to day:
I changed the names because I respect my sources, but you can clearly see the two biggest Bone fanboys have a lob on for Sony, they wanna be King Cunt so bad but we look down on their average cuntishness, they just don't have it about them. Turning into sado-masochists in the hope that Yoshida will welcome them into the fold. They've lost the fucking plot, lads. Desperation seeps from ever pore.
tl;dr, PS4 is King Cunt 4eva

Yossarian wrote:But yes, I don't think that Games as a Service are inherently bad, and they're pretty common these days too, most games will try to find some future monetisation options to try and offset the increased costs of development.
There are new risks, of course, but when done well, they can be great.

The Forza games are GaaS with all of their car packs. Halo was too through loot pack sales.

Arcade games are the original games as a service.
But more seriously, games which keep offering new content over the course of their lives (beyond a couple of DLC packs) in exchange for money are by many definitions, Games as a Service.
How many add-on packs were released for the base SFIV, including both new characters and new outfits?
