Nobody asked for a Suicide Squad game, that IP is not the wave that execs seem to think it is

Nobody asked to transition from single-player adventures to live service


"Let's combine them and give the people both, no way it won't bomb :krs:"

This shyt played out exactly like the Saints Row reboot, in terms of a company doubling down on a direction nobody wanted and dying a slow death everyone saw coming

I truly believe if they kept it single player it woulda had the usual Rocksteady magic. But as always execs/suits fukk shyt up. And the only ones that suffer longterm is Rocksteady's devs. Ruined their rep just like dat.

I mean, we talk every day about big publishers needing to get that live service/GaaS money because of development costs and so that funding SP games can be financially feasible. I don't have a problem with WB trying to do that using their intellectual properties.

I do have an issue with them destroying what they built across the Arkham Asylum games, though. Who thought it was a good idea to kill off the Batman from a beloved series of games?

They were living off the nikkas who actually did the Arkham work’s name anyway. This ain’t the Rocksteady you knew. fukk their rep
