That does mean that I think the default expectation increasingly is that a game will be maintained & updated for extended periods of time.

Games as a Service, or "GaaS", continues to popularize through mobile games, DLC, Season Passes, and live games. It is shifting paradigm.

That doesn't mean your game must be a GaaS, but it does mean you should manage that expectation pre-launch if it's not going to be updated.

Easy answer for me. There's no game I would like to build and update for 5 years.
