Online Games
Games that need a connection to work: sessions, accounts, shared worlds, and everything that keeps them running for players.
This tag sits on roles across a connected title. Development sides of it are session handling, account systems, crossplay between platforms and the certification each one demands. Operations sides are availability, patch windows, telemetry and the queue that forms when an event starts. Support and community work belongs here too: moderation, player reports, compensation after an outage.
What the briefs have in common is that the game is never finished and never offline for long. Release and rollback plans, staged rollouts and an on-call rota turn up in postings that would look purely technical otherwise.
Live Service Games describes the business model - a title funded by continuing content and events. This tag is the wider one: a session-based shooter, a persistent world and a mobile title with a login all qualify, whether or not anything new ships every month.
