Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson argues that the future of single-player games is a live-service hybrid
Dragon Age: The Veilguard missed its sales targets, with EA's CEO suggesting the audience wanted something more akin to live service titles.

Another recent example of live-service hybridization with single-player games is Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad, based in the popular Arkham universe and matching closely to the WB movies of the same name.
