I haven't really got into HD2, too online for my tastes, but I can see its appeal. I think there is a broader phenomenon of a divorce between where big studios are heading and where "traditional" players want to be.

They’ll see a live service game doing well and think that people want more live service games, not fun games.

Couldn't have said it better.

I can say, when you're out there with your squad and it feels like space Vietnam, that's why its selling. That portion of the atmosphere, gameplay, and intensity is on point

You guys act like that wasn't already happening for the past 10 years. This isn't a new thing.
