Lords of the Fallen is many things, but I don’t believe one of those is an ongoing, live service game.

    I am, and you’re wrong.

    Developers can say anything they want. Genre is defined exclusively by players and how they experience the end result. Players label games.

    If a developer makes Doom and calls it a JRPG, they’re wrong regardless of what their design goals were.

      It’s just a bad jrpg

      Developers are the ones marketing it

        Marketing has literally zero impact on what genre a game is.

        Literally nothing but the gameplay can ever, under any circumstance, contribute to the discussion of what genre a game is.

          You’ve never read the description on steam or seen an ad for a game that tells you what kind of game it is?

              Well good luck with your future pitches when you open up by saying the public is going to decide your genre
