Yes is Volatile.. do a good game it sells.. do a shit game it dosent... is like rocket science you know.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

It's actually mindboggling how fucking stupid and incompetent WB is.

 

[Dazraell]

Warner Bros execs be like

 

[WorldHero]

Next Mortal Kombat is going to be even more shitty and filled with even more microtransactions up the ass isn't it?

I think we may see Ed Boon leave or retire. I'm sure he's not the biggest fan of WB and their business practices…

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

So they released Hogwarts... and suicide squad.

And this is the conclusion they arrived at from both of those releases?

Wow.

 

[Ozzie666]

Already talk of the next Hogwarts being a GAAS live service experience.
They have learned absolutely nothing. Shareholders should be scratching their heads.

 

[Esppiral]

Yeah, because free 2 plays, mobile and gas are not volatile lol.

 

[captainpat]

feel like this new focus is gonna spell layoffs for rocksteady

WB leadership are incompetent.

They released a game last year thst sold a metric fuck ton and made a ton of money.

WB: we wanna get away from that.

A serious company would fire these assclowns.

They're probably attributing "volatility" to crap like Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad, Multiversus, etc. Even if not, and they actually think that garbage is helping [and don't see it's actually more harmful], then they're still extremely incompetent.

I guess bad apples do spoil the rest.

But this is par for the course, and they've been doing stupid crap as far back with F.E.A.R. 2 and F.3.A.R. (and probably even further back than that).

WB execs in a few years:

 

[BennyBlanco]

Hogwarts was the highest selling game of last year and this is what they concluded from it. I do not like the direction the industry is going.

 

[Spyxos]

Have fun with the mobile games, the market is completely oversaturated.

 

[Spyxos]

Hogwarts was the highest selling game of last year and this is what they concluded from it. I do not like the direction the industry is going.

Suicide Squad was probably far too expensive after so long in development and even the success of Hogwarts wasn't enough to make up for it. And Mortal Kombat also sold relatively poorly compared to its predecessors.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Dumb motherfuckers

If gaming companies are starved for sales during leans times, then it's easy. Do what every other company does and make more products. Instead of one budget busting game that takes forever to make, split it into two.

Cheap mobile and live-service are the products.
