Saad from eXputer says, "Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League sales disappointed WB, and I don't understand what it was expecting to achieve."
Warner Bros Discovery has revealed that sales of its action adventure game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, have been "disappointing".
No one to blame but themselves
Are they now getting it or they still going to push GaaS
The main thing I hate about this garbage, is that they gamble the livelihood of these studios by forcing them to do this when they don't want to. Then when it underperforms they shut them down for something they didn't even want to do in the first place.
Agree; however, to be fair you left out the part where the developers whore themselves out to the publishing company in the first place. When you sell yourself to the highest bidder, you can’t complain when you no longer can do what you want to do.

It was great to see the positive feedback to the upcoming changes we laid out in last week’s Developer Update, and so we wanted to take the opportunity this week to touch on some of the other content you can expect to see in Episode 2."
Always nice to get a pulse check from a developer you know it's day's are numbered.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were more people playing Avengers before they pulled the plug.

From looking at both our own internal data, and from listening to community sentiment we’ve worked on a series of improvements that we believe will make for a better experience in terms of hunting for new gear, fighting Brainiac’s forces, and overall quality-of-life."
Apparently you even have to grind to get the Joker. Lotsa questionable decisions in this one.
More than 50 on friends list. About 12 in person. Not a single one of them is playing this.
WB been shooting themselves in the foot for awhile now. Its not just video games, wasnt here new leadership or something thats when all the crap started happening. Also didnt they say they would like more live service at one point
Worst part is they probably will try again
Marvels Avengers already proved that even a GAAS Justice league game wouldn't necessarily be a success just because it featured those characters. No matter what the IP, it still needs an engaging gameplay loop.
WB shooting themselves in the foot again is nothing new. A DC game that fails to do well in numbers is nothing new again. Is DC and WB going to release another shitty DC movie most likely. Will DC and WB learn from their past blunders I highly doubt it. Just another day for WB and DC wash, rise, repeat.
Prediction, WB make it F2P in desperate attempt to increase player base but only serve to alienate the people who paid for it in the first place.
