Fairgames Pre-Alpha Sparks Doubts Over Sony’s Live-Service Bet

Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson reports Haven Studios’ PS5 live-service shooter Fairgames (Espresso) got a rough reception in a recent pre-alpha: players criticize movement, the class system, and a toned-down, grittier visual style; the extraction-shooter premise sees four teams of three competing to loot a vault, with NDA-restricted feedback. While the test aims to improve the experience, many say it feels boring and doubt it can justify Sony’s live-service push, though Sony remains supportive so far.
