EDIT: I made a FACTUAL MISTAKE concerning one of the points in this video. Last year, Crystal Dynamics' Creative Director, Noah Hughes, announced that no post-launch character would be charged for. While I personally doubt that will remain the case half a year in, I hope it is indeed true - it would go a ways into improving the "Live Service" package. Still, my bad - I should have looked into Square's announced post-launch monetization plans, murky as they are.

I had the dubious pleasure of playing Square Enix's Avengers beta this last weekend. This is a title that might very well dig the final inch in Crystal Dynamics’ grave, following that last rather mediocre Tomb Raider game (if you trust the players, the critics, and everyone in-between).

This live-service business doesn't make for good games. Doesn't even make for adequate ones, which is somehow worse.
