It didn’t need to be a live service game. You can just look at failures in the genre like The Avengers or Anthem.

I’m willing to bet that by the time those games came out and died it was far too late for Rocksteady to pivot from the live service model.

The BTS look at this game is gonna be interesting.

Yeah, this games been in production since like 2016-17, it was too late by the time those games came out to reverse course

Although WB is still saying they want mostly live service titles now so….lol

If i'm not mistaken WB randomly decided to add live service elements after the game was well into development.

Suicide Squad Kills Rocksteady headline coming soon. :francis:

Yeah, folks might as well draft up those "My thoughts are with the devs at Rocksteady" tweets now.

Only upside here is that between this and WBD potentially getting outplayed for NBA rights might be enough to get Zaslav the fukk up outta there.
