Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has disappointed Warner Bros. Discovery, owner of developer Rocksteady, to the tune of a $200 million hit to revenue. https://www.ign.com/articles/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-flop-leads-to-200-million-impairment-charge-warner-bros-confirms Yet their big takeaway from this is probably to quadruple down on mobile/freemium and live service games. Such a joke of a studio. I get they're the only movie studio to have a gaming division, but I think they're hiring the wrong exec heads for it. --- DI MOLTO! ... Copied to Clipboard!

They literally doubled down a year before release when they announced the last delay and said they won't remove live service despite all the complaints. Like, they KNEW people hated the concept and even acknowledged the complaints and said they aren't changing shit basically.

How much 100's of millions of dollars do these companies need to loose before listening to what their consumer base wants?

Time to quadruple down on it then lol. Can't turn back now even though we've lost $200 million in revenue, that would prove the fans right! You could've had something like Helldivers 2 (which smoked your game btw) as a live service game and it would've still blown up in your face like it almost did for that game when Sony tried for a mere week to retrofit it as such for their platform. Throwing away money is great, WB. Keep it up... ... Copied to Clipboard!

They would've basically had to completely rebuild the game, better to release it and take the hit than burn more dollars on making it goodThey could have at least made alterations to change some aspects of it to make it somewhat more favorable. The game was already delayed 3 or so times. Maybe 2 or 3 years. I can't remember. They knew from the beginning people hated it. Instead, they chose to leave it exactly how people hated. Or flat out cancel it years before release. Isn't that what WB has been doing anyway for tax write-offs? --- Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/kid_prodigy23 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Being unfun to play in order to push monetization is literally the entire point of a GaaS. While you guys are right, he isn't wrong that the game could've found some form of success if the game was good/fun. Helldivers 2, Fortnite, Destiny 2, FF14, and Genshin Impact are all GaaS and they found levels of financial success that non-GaaS will never be able to make. But that's the thing though, people will give a game more leeway if it is good, something that the new Suicide Squad game couldn't even do from its inception to its execution. It's just an expensive failure all around that WB will never learn from. --- DI MOLTO! ... Copied to Clipboard!

This game holds a very ominous place in my household.
My wife knows very little about video games, but I mentioned this game in passing when it was first in development, saying something like "If it can be anything like the Arkham games, but with all the Suicide Squad members, it has potential to be really good". And then it came out. And then unknown to me, she got it for me for my birthday from the kids. And I played it once. And now anytime she sees me playing anything other than that, she asks why I'm not playing it, and I don't have the heart to tell her that it's god awful. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ...

AceMos posted... what did they do that made the game bad They are a team that helps with narratives, making plots cohesive, and generally making the characters likable. They failed at every single one of those. So either they were brought in and paid to do absolutely nothing, making them a shitty useless company. Or they were brought in and what we saw in the finished game were the fruits of their labor, also making them a shitty useless company. There is no way to slice it where they arent a shitty useless company. ... Copied to Clipboard!
