Warner Bros. Discovery reported today that its game revenue suffered a major drop this quarter from the same period last year, largely due to weak performance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Probably related to WB wanting to sell their gaming division.
They forced the developers to make this shit. Everything and everyone leading up to the release told them it was DOA. This is 100% on poor leadership making bad decisions and not reversing course at any of the warning signs.. Yet the leaders will stay and the developers will suffer.
If WB really wanted to tank their game division, they would do what they did with movies and start cancelling almost finished projects for a tax write off
“Games revenue, under the WB Games division, dropped 41% year-over-year. Though Suicide Squad's struggles were the main culprit, it was admittedly up against stiff competition: last year's comparable included strong sales of Hogwarts Legacy, which launched in February of 2023 and continued to do exceedingly well throughout the year that followed. It (sold 22 million copies in 2023 alone), and has since reached 24 million.”
