a big ol' "We'll wait and see" from me. Nothing about this screams "have to get", let alone worth paying (over) full price for it. I think I could happily wait a year and play when it's on sale. Especially since it's a live service game, and guaranteed the second it's not profitable they'll take it offline. Why spend more than 20 dollars on that?
Where does it say it's live service?
I may have used live service incorrectly, but it sounds like it's a cloud-based game, where at least something requires an online server to run. It also sounds like it'll be following the ubisoft requirement of using them to authenticate, so it will always require an internet connection and their servers online to run. I don't know for sure if it's using Ubisoft Scalar, which is their new "Cloud" engine which literally chunks of the world are processed in the cloud, but if it is then that also is a hard requirement on their online costly servers running, which they'll turn off the second it's not profitable.
All of that adds up to me to say treat it like a rental. You are renting this game for a certain amount of time from them. Have no expectations that you will be able to play this again (using the same original purchase at least) in 10+ years.
I can't afford / ever buy games brand new. I'll wait for a sale as well, maybe when it's more reasonable, like £30ish.
Baldur's Gate broke me on live service games. If I can't play offline, I don't need the game. I'm paying something like $80 per year for Diablo 4 (because PS plus required) and I often take months or years off from playing Diablo games. What a waste of money...
While this game definitely looks very fun, and seems to be what I wanted out of Jedi Fallen Order. Its just a darn shame I will never be buying this unless its on Steam or GoG. Or literally anywhere but ubisoft.
