Wondering if the new Rocksteady's game is tied to previous ones? Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League canon to Arkham Games?
Some of the biggest success stories in the history of gaming have happened during this generation of gaming. At the same time, some of the biggest flops in the history of gaming have also happened during this generation of gaming. To this end, a few games particularly stick out as, unfortunately, disastrous flops for those who made the games, sold the games, and ultimately, for many that played the games.
What a strange, short list. There have been many more games that arrived DOA, were never released, didn’t make their budget back, etc. Why cherry pick these games? Is this list based on the size of internet hate boners?
Skull and Bones gets my vote, at this point just completely remake AC Black Flag. If the Concord developers had made the game free to play, and toned down the in your face messaging via the mods and design choices, this game could have been serviceable eventually. I never understand why pandering to 5% of your audience and giving the finger to the other 95% seems like a good idea to these people. They never seem to learn. Disney has lost 1/3rd of its value and they keep doubling down on political messaging. I don’t get it.
Rocksteady Studios has reportedly laid off several staff members as a result of the disastrous release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Blame the ppl wo greenlit the gaas idea for a genre not the workers. So like the ceo or the managers.
I bet the people who made the decisions 'up high' are not affected by lay offs at all.
Shame to see.
Instead of firing the devs who were forced to turn their games into GaaS garbage, how about firing the arrogant, greedy suits who dismissed all the warnings from gamers who shouted at them that we’re not interested in GaaS … !?
Anyway, those devs will find new projects to work on, big or small, while those suits will remain seated in their thrones and will continue to make dumb decisions which will run their company i to the ground.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League killed Warner Bros. Discovery's game revenue, but the company continues to "strongly believe" in games.
lol, another company will follow right behind these guys. the game never did look in the first place
Sounds like people want great single player games like Hogwarts Legacy and not GaaS garbage like Suicide Squad.
Take notes Warner Bros. I know that's really hard for you.
It is. There’s a ‘Batman Experience’ that summarizes events of past games, including character bios by Jack Ryder. The Hall of Justice also has some Batman exposition.
