$200M ain’t no pocket change. One would hope such high-profile failures as this or Avengers would curb execs enthusiasm for live service games, but I’m not holding my breath.
The article even cites all of the similar flops prior to Suicide Squad not deterring leadership on their plan for Suicide Squad. Someone else out there is still making that same mistake. Like Bungie with Marathon, for example.
As a Marathon fan since 1994, the plans for the new Marathon make me sad.
As someone who used to like first person shooters before they all became live service games, it makes me sad too.
I’m wondering when heads start rolling. It seems like nothing is changing.
As with most AAA-games, the people that view entertainment as a mere tool for money extraction got involved.
Support developers that are actually passionate about entertainment. The ghouls that make games as a means of profit seeking (and who exploit the people who are passionate) can wither away.
Holy shit, in a year of bad games, Suicide Squad stands out. Honestly shocked Forspoken or Redfall didn’t get top spot.
Forspoken and Redfall were last year.
