It does seem we might not see big content blasts in Squadrons. “Never say never,” creative director Ian Frazier told UploadVR earlier this month, “but as far as our philosophy goes we’re not trying to treat the game as a live service.” He explained that they’ve “tried to treat it in kind of an old-school approach saying, ‘You’ve paid the $40, this is the game and it’s entirely self-contained.
