How do you define Live Service/Games as a Service?

Yes he did. He said he used to work on MMOs, Games as a service was just taking off at the time and it was a natural fit. 3 guesses as to why and the first two don't count. Do you even watch what you link or do you just hear what you want to hear and expect everyone to do the same?

Your definition is not what people within the industry say, your definition is actually completely made up and you try and shoehorn what industry people say to match it. 

the QP made the equivilency, not I.

I could ask you the same. Paraphrased quote from the talk:

"Now I know what you're saying. 'Wait a minute. Aren't these the techniques Games as a Service use?'"

"Yes, and that's okay. [Part I don't remember exactly so I'll skip it] Steal the good stuff."

Go troll someone else please.

I believe the person trolling is you. Techniques used by GaaS does not equate to a definition. Like I said before you are hearing what you want to hear and trying to fit it into your world view.

Gaas is a subcategory of Saas. ALL definitions of categories MUST also apply to their subcategories. That is a universal rule. Saas requires online activity, period. That is the technical, most pure definition of Game as a Service. We have one, we use it, that is it.

You can then get into games who use elements of Gaas games and call them live service if you wish. This doesn't change the definition of GaaS though.

Because it goes against what Colfoley and Eternal Ambiguity want to believe.

In the video game industry, games as a service (GaaS) represents providing video games or game content on a continuing revenue model, similar to software as a service. Games as a service are ways to monetize video games either after their initial sale, or to support a free-to-play model. Games released under the GaaS model typically receive a long or indefinite stream of monetized new content over time to encourage players to continue paying to support the game. This often leads to games that work under a GaaS model to be called "living games" or "live games", since they continually change with these updates.

Is Wiki's definition. It's also the communities definition. It's also the industries definition. It is not Colfoley's and Eternal's definition.

Quite frankly I'm sick of coming to these forums and having trouble communicating basic concepts all gamers already know because a few people want to run around and dispute them to push agendas *rolls eyes*

Clearly you have never spent any time on Quora.

As tends to happen with all gaming categories you have the pure games which belong to a genre, and those games which have elements of those games? Kinda like how all games have RPG elements in them these days lol.

I believe the purest examples of GaaS will always be MMOs. I think these are what these games are based off. Then you branch out from there with each game being more or less of a GaaS I guess. Categories help consumers identify what elements are in each game, which is why Post Launch support is terrible as a definition by  the way. If every game can belong to a category then it doesn't help consumers narrow their search.

Assassins Creed has GaaS elements but isn't a GaaS game. Are season pass games GaaS? You could possibly make an argument. Destiny 2, Borderlands 3. Then you go into the gacha games, are online games with obtrusive cash shops GaaS? Are pay to win games GaaS? These last two are where they get their bad name a bit. 

One person on Forbes made a sliding scale with Destiny 2 on one end and ... some other random game on the other lol.

A random dictionary lol. Software as a Service has a VERY established definition. So you have the lexico dictionary definition above, you have the techterm definition I'll list below next to 1, searchcloudcomputing definition below next to 2. I'll have a company who's delivering SaaS services have their definition next to 3 and etc etc.

I don't know where you and Colfoley got your definitions, I genuinely don't. Even people who get confused over GaaS (there's almost no confusion over SaaS) kinda get closeish to online application stuff?

1 - Stands for "Software as a Service." SaaS is software that is deployed over the Internet rather than installed on a computer.
2 - Software as a service (SaaS) is a software distribution model in which a cloud provider hosts applications and makes them available to end users over the internet.
3 - Software as a service (or SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet—as a service. Instead of installing and maintaining software, you simply access it via the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management. SaaS applications are sometimes called Web-based software, on-demand software, or hosted software. Whatever the name, SaaS applications run on a SaaS provider’s servers.

"Hosted online and run over the internet" is another meaningless definition that excludes every game (including 99% MMOs) except flash games on Newgrounds. Is that your assertion? That Anthem was not a GaaS, that WoW is not a GaaS, that TOR is not a GaaS?

Just take their definition of "runs on a SaaS provider's servers" then *shrugs*

Every definition of SaaS has a common theme though.
