    I guess while updates like League’s recent big one that completely overhauls and changes core mechanics of the game, it’s still League from back in 2008 and not a new game entirely. Many people have been playing the game for almost two decades now (wtf?!) and could have been spending all that time playing new releases but didn’t. So in a sense, it could be seen as a patient game since it’s separate from all the new AAA releases of the recent years. Same goes for other live-service games, I guess

      Yeach but also if league didnt put up with the times it likely would have been abandoned by most players so you could say its basicaly just a series of sequels . I mean its basicaly a fifa but instead of yearly realse you get constant updates. As far as im concerned a superior development model.

        I see your point - haven’t thought of the comparison to games like Fifa
