In other news, water is wet.

 

[Burger]

What were the expectations?

 

[Flabagast]

Lmao

The game is a massive failure, that's good.

Sorry for those that spent 70$ on it though, but you were warned

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

 

[gokurho]

What were the expectations?

Defeat Marvel's Avengers

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Lol. Lmao, even.

 

[gothmog]

What were their expectations? They knew this was coming in hot based on the delays and reception of the initial reveals.

 

[MDSLKTR]

What will zaslav learn from this? Nothing. Watch them wipe Harry Potter success next.

 

[Punished Miku]

Put it on Gamepass. I still think it looks fun.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Lmao

No reason to be sorry, people will spend money where they want. From what I had seen a lot of people that felt the urge to buy it have been entertained. So they're good. Those that didn't got refunded, everyone is fine, lol.

"The solution is more GaaS games" - David Zaslav, probably.

 

[Interfectum]

They expected more? From this?

 

[DR3AM]

Sadly layoffs will be coming, even studio closure perhaps?

 

[Kikorin]

Most expected fallen short of our expectations game ever.

Proper fucked indeed.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Wow, what an absolute shocker.

 

[Toots]

 

[Buggy Loop]

None of the managers in all their endless fucking meetings every weeks could have predicted this?

Well you better fucking look into who is managing that place. Most blind motherfucker on Earth.

 

[Kurotri]

I mean, that Zaslav fella is fucking crazy

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Good. Current Rocksteady is beyond saving.

"The solution is more GaaS games" - David Zaslav, probably.

WB will be like:
Hogwarts Legacy: Traditional single player game by lesser known dev --> Massive success
Suicide Squad: GaaS by well known and beloved studio --> Absolute failure

Conclusion:
Let's double down on GAAS

 

[Kacho]

Music to my ears. I wonder what the next GAAS failure will be.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Bro, can we just get Rocksteady making what they actually want to make, please?

 

[Kokoloko85]

What a surprise. A game about a bunch of people no1 cares about. So many other DC superheroes or non superheroes characters they could of made a game about

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Great!!

Take that karma.... Warner bros.

 

[scoobidoo112]

What a surprise. A game about a bunch of people no1 cares about. So many other DC superheroes or non superheroes characters they could of made a game about

And not just that, but they made it canon to the Arkhamverse, so they didn't just release one disappointing game, instead they killed an entire franchise.

 

[Heisenberg007]

 

[AJUMP23]

IT got a ton of bad press, and I thought it looked awful in all the previews. But the players say it is fun.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Meanwhile... Stellar blade will be a blast game.

Because it have what we want

 

[MiguelItUp]

Bro, can we just get Rocksteady making what they actually want to make, please?

With WB Games controlling them, I don't think so. It's why this happened in the first place I'm sure. Would surely explain why so many people abandoned ship.

 

[reektann]

Idiots. I wish these publishers would just run things by me before putting money into a dogshit game?

 

[mitch1971]

has fallen short of everyones expectations WB.

 

[Mephisto40]

Can I get a job as "Expectations manager" at Rocksteady please

I'll do a much better job than whoever the hell is filling the roll right now

 

[aclar00]

In other news, water is wet.

Mind blown! But, does that mean dirt is dirty?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I mean, that Zaslav fella is fucking crazy

Even in his golden age they couldn't beat Disney.

They were always overshadowed by Disney.

Yes, pretty much...
Warner Bros. says it's focusing on transforming its biggest franchises into live service games

 

[Kuranghi]

I'd like to see all future press releases + tweets from WB and comments from this Zaslav guy voiced by the extremely grating Australian accent of captain boomerang.

Meanwhile... Stellar blade will be a blast game.

Because it have what we want

Yeah I love cool robot designs too

[elmos-acc]

If they expected anything other than a dumpster fire, the jokes on them.

I know it's just a video game developer but this shit makes me sad. One of my favorite franchises killed for the dumbest decision. I really hope that the talented people in Rocksteady get new jobs and get to make something worthwhile again after the inevitable shutdown.

 

[El Muerto]

 

[Spyxos]

What were the expectations?

10+ sales.

 

[Evolved1]

the people actually responsible will be safe, devs will get blame instead

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Who'd have thought players don't want this gaas garbage in our games?
