The past month has seen a slew of developers and publishers announce their live service titles will be shutting down this year, some of which aren't even a year old.
Within the space of a week, it was announced that the plug would be pulled on Apex Legends Mobile, Rumbleverse, Knockout City, CrossfireX, Crayta and Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero's Bonds.
As our managing editor Brendan Sinclair observed in our latest 10 Years Ago this month, this is far from the first time a wave of similar titles have been scrapped, and that it's a drop in the ocean compared to the number of live service games still running.
