After Suicide Squad’s $200 million flop and a massacre of studios, Warner Bros acknowledges it has “no releases” out, and it’s spending 66% less on game content.

WB has no idea what it’s doing. Just close and sell off the IPs to someone who gives a shit about making a good game and not an infinite money platform.
I do care enough about suicide squad to read an article about how no one cares about suicide squad.
I know people like to shit on Disney for milking every IP they have but they’re still better than WB who own the licenses to DC, LOTR, Game Of Thrones, Harry Potter and countless other IPs but they can’t release a single decent product.
Don’t worry, another live service slop will surely save the company.
Maybe just make a batman game like the older ones and use the nemesis system, like how is this hard?
Why can’t FEAR have a reawakening?
Arkham & Shadow of Mordor are some of the best video games, and WB is taking a break from making games?
Gimme the nemesis system, i’ll do it
If their priorities switch to more of a Quality over Quantity mindset, this could be great.
But I will believe that when they start using their IP’s to put out great stuff.
It’s nice to see that Warner Bros runs their gaming division the same way they run their films division. Poorly
They make games no one wants, then act surprised when no one wants them.
Microsoft must be so proud they offered the guys that lead this obvious success to market a big deal and funded the creation of their new studio.
Real win getting the, we want a special car for each member of the squad, guys on the payroll to make a new game.
God damn I hope Hundred Star crashes and burns. And I desperately hope Rocksteady stays open and goes back to what they want to do, making great single player experiences, to spite their former founders and leads who tried to burn it down for a shitty idea.
They should let me make a LotR game I’ll make it based around a Witcher 3 style gameplay loop with Sekiro lite combat. Essentially a full fledged open world RPG with touches from Fromsoft combat design and CD Projekt Red narrative build. It would probably end up as a $70 release but I would refuse to allow anything except story expansion DLC and zero paid for cosmetic DLC :3
Might as well admit you have no business caring for these awesome IPs.
They can launch a Arkham Origins remaster and get back a quarter of what they lost, at least.
Make better games. How are you going to sit on the nemesis system and do absolutely nothing with it?
Release trash, expect trash results.
WB are fucking idiots who followed the Arkham Knight with this shit.
They could have done an Arkham style game in the Batman Beyond universe, but noooooo
They had to make a live service game
How one manages to fck up the legacy and skill of Rocksteady Studios is incomprehensible. Stop pushing teams that regularly released masterpieces to do shit that only upper management is excited about because they think big Dollar and do not know an iota about the medium they happen to be able to taint with their presence.
Make. A. Good. Game.
It’s all you gotta do. None of this “games as a service” nonsense, no political messages, no shitting on people, just make a good game.
There’s a company in Japan called Kairosoft. They make deceptively simple games. They put them out for less than $15 each and they have a dedicated fanbase and make more money than a lot of these behemoth companies, mostly due to actually turning a profit.
These dumbasses are sitting on a goldmine doing nothing.
Batman, Superman, LOTR, and they think a Live Service game on a movie that flopped is the way to go.
Sweet jesus it blows my mind.
