I have no idea what an extraction shooter is and it feels like I keep seeing news about extraction shooters shutting down not longer after being released.

    Spawn on map
    Do objectives, collect stuff
    Get out of map without dying

    Thats basically the main gameplay loops of these games.

    Somebody should make some single player ones. The concept sounds fun, but I have little interest in live service stuff.

    Escape From Duckov is an excellent single player parody of Escape From Tarkov, one of the most famous extraction shooters. Duckov was one of my most enjoyed games last year.

    Escape From Tarkov itself has the Single Player Tarkov mod which I hear is great, but I don't own that game so can't verify.

    I've wanted this since PUBG came out. PvE with a solo focus, teams optional. Could even involve indirect PvP - can't directly attack the other players, just sabotage/score higher. I feel like there's really an untapped market there, but if it's not a live service with monthly payments and cosmetics then the suits aint interested. Gag.

    It could work. Theres that single player "mmo" on Steam and that actually seems fun. My favorite part is looting everything I can and thats still possible in singleplayer. Maybe if it was just not live service and had PvE elements you could play with your friends it might be really auccessful. But everyone is chasing money printers now.
