who tf is living in hogwarts legacy that lifeless ass open world. they're gonna need real MMO experience and the willingness to commit past a potential flop. We all know suicide squad aint making it to Easter. FFXIV was dead on arrival at launch, but Square stuck with it like an emotional baby mama. Now they're eating up but you know it wasn't easy.

WB games as a publisher are probably done. They don’t know what they’re doing on the film side or gaming side

Gotham Knights - flop
Suicide Squad - flop
Multiversus - flop
Lego Star Wars - super hit
Back 4 Blood - flop
Mortal Kombat 1 - not a flop but not doing the usual MK numbers
Hogwarts - mega hit
Lowkey make sense on why they've been trying to sell off their gaming division for the past few year, but no one wants an division/studio if it doesn't come with the IPs.

WB sucks as a gaming entity

They really squandered everything. The Nemesis system has gone nowhere, Mortal Kombat is lost, Rocksteady is likely done, Multiversus was abandoned and now they're going to ruin Harry Potter after a majorly successful game last year

They're fukking idiots over there honestly lol

When you got pencil pushers and number crunchers making decisions, this is what happens.

Should have bought same man 2 five times:ufdup:

the most successful and fastest selling Sony 1st party game ain't the problem. :comeon:

this thread is about WB, not Sony too.

WB execs don't know what they are doing and they've proven this. Execs destroyed this game and Rocksteady.

License out their IPs. Give it to people who have an idea of what gaming should be. And keep bean counters away from decisions. They ruin everything over nickeling and diming people.

This makes a ton of sense, WB doesn’t have to put up start up cost, and can just eat off the licensing fee/cut from game sales.

Dude, I've been saying this since it came out. The world is absolutely beautiful, true to the source material, and empty as fukk. It does NOT feel lived in, like the worlds in Fallout or GTA do.
