Good. Games that push mtx should fail, regardless of quality.

I don’t know how Rocksteady survives this tbh. No one bought it.

WB wants to invest in games (and yes live service specifically) and don't really have much in the way of fat to cut. I think they're in a position to survive this, if anything the old LotR team is in much worse shape- their WW game is years late at this point and apparently had drama and "forced turnover" in that time. And the Lego team is in an even worse state, probably the most likely to get cut despite decades of continuous success.

I still won't play it tho cause its shit.

It's not shit though? It's just bogged down by a mediocre story and execution of classic villains and basically no reason to keep playing in end game.

On the Warner Bros. Discovery earnings call this morning, CEO David Zaslav said that their quarter's financials took a hit due to the "disappointing release of Suicide Squad," the newest game from Rocksteady Studios

Studios revenue dropped 12% year over year to $2.8 billion, primarily due to a gaming slump, with “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” not performing as well as massive hit “Hogwarts Legacy” in the comparable Q1 2023. Warner Bros. Discovery said it took an impairment charge for “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” as the DC game generated “significantly lower” revenue than “Hogwarts Legacy.”
