GAAS have been a la mode for several years now, and while Fortnite, PUBG and Destiny 2 have all found great success, many haven't made the cut.
According to a Game Developer survey of 600 developers, they are well aware of the limits of these connected games. 39% of those questioned said they were rather concerned about the sustainability of the business model for service games, and a further 31% said they were very concerned. 70% are at least wary of these projects.
Only 26% are not at all concerned, and 4% have no opinion on the subject. Two-thirds of concerned developers fear a loss of interest from gamers, both because of the business model itself, and because of the high level of competition in the field.
