That's the part of the comment I was referring to. It's factually wrong: only ~15% of playtime is spent on 2024 games
LoL didn't release in 2024, neither did Warframe. I'm not arguing that old service games don't make the most revenue, they obviously do, I'm arguing that a lot of the live service games that are actively comming out are almost all underperforming and failing to get any kind of audience. All that means there's very little incentive to develop a new live service game unless you already have a big community for it or a brilliant idea
If you have a lot of money, you're better off investing in a "Black Myth Wukong" or "Elden Ring" -- both of which are outperforming the newest Call of Duty on Steam in revenue -- compared to a new random live service game
