Warner’s CEO recently revealed plans to turn big franchises into live services…

“Join the Wonder Woman team and help bring an iconic DC Superhero to life,” the listing reads.

While the job requirements list the typical experience expected from an applicant looking to work on a triple-A game, one of the qualities in the “nice to haves” section refers to live services

Specifically, the listing says applicants may have the edge if they have “experience helping maintain a live software product or game”.

Although this doesn’t conclusively confirm that Wonder Woman will have a live service component, were it to do so it wouldn’t be a great surprise.

It would also line up with comments made last week by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who said the company was focused on turning its biggest gaming franchises into live service games.

Speaking during the company’s latest earnings call, Zaslav discussed plans to transform franchises like “Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, DC, which is mainly Batman today, and Mortal Kombat,” which he sees as individual billion-dollar gaming franchises, into service games

They have to make up for the delays of Suicide Squad somewhere!

I'm so tired of live service games. The whole industry is pivoting to that shit.

Well... they can fuck off with that. I wont be supporting.

This David Zaslav really wasn't a good steward for WB.

Zaslav is the guy who helped turn Discovery from a science channel to a parade of reality trash, so this is par for the course for him.

Entertainment is on the wrong track in general, hijacked by these penny pinching people with no taste or imagination.

Pursuit of minimal costs coupled with pushing sociopolitical agendas has really ruined the whole of entertainment in the western world.

Same way with "open world" and I'm one of the ones that feels every game doesn't have to be open world e.g. Uncharted, Souls games, etc...

Open world not only made some franchises boring, but it is the main reason games cost 100s of millions to make.

You’d think the success of Hogwarts Legacy and the reaction to Suicide Squad would've changed their minds

Their most successful game ever, that's brought in over a billion dollars, is a single player game....Business executives really don't understand business.

Many times the problem comes from the creators themselves. They sell their vision to the executives who then expects trillions. Many creators would take the gamble that could send him up the rank within the corporate.
