This whole "dead game" rhetoric seems to stem from the sane idea present in capitalism that something must be constantly growing.

People have bought Palworld, and they've made their money back and then some. And despite this not being a "live service" type game, it's still receiving updates and still has active players.

Yes, but they didn't sell themselves out to Microsoft or EA at their peak in order to hook into the Endless Invasive Advertisement Machine, so they'll never be a true success story like Origin Systems, Westwood Studio, or Mythic Entertainment.

Bro? They literally signed with Sony.
