The “live service looter shooter” angle was reportedly not forced by management, but it was Rocksteady’s leadership who made the decision to pursue the game instead of alternatives.
How much longer until Rocksteady is shutdown?

They deserve this for disrespecting batman. I hope the entire staff dies homeless and freezing.
least maladjusted capeshit fan
I'm glad you lost your jobs, lol. Get fricked.
Now you know how anyone who is a fan of a Marvel property feels. Even my boy Darkhawk got hit.
>Even my boy Darkhawk got hit.
Wait, what? No. No, I don't want to know. Better to have my memories.
You mean like how Batman(and Rocksteady) disrespected Harley Quinn in the entire Arkham Trilogy? What with the one punch knockout shit and literally carrying her so her ass is facing the camera. The one thing this game did right was letting her finally get revenge.
Weak bait. Do better.
I agree. They didn't even make her fart while her ass was facing the camera, wtf.
same, lets pray together.
Nobody who made the games I like currently works at the company. So in my eyes they died years and years ago. I get that that the name still exists. But my point is that they were dead to me a long time ago.
Gamers have a very difficult time understanding this concept. See Blizzard fans for example.
GET WOKE GO BROKE
How the frick did it cost 200M
the absolute state of aaa
Anon it cost way more than 200 million. Look at how many employees Rocksteady has and remember they were working since Arkham Knight with only Suicide Squad to show for it.
>How the frick did it cost 200M
2 decent programmer working for 5 years would cost 1.25 million
now do the math.
You might have had a point if this was an actual good game, but this fricking trash wouldn't need more than 15 decent programmers to get it done in the state it is.
>You might have had a point if this was an actual good game
1) Irrelevant to programmer.
Blame the designer instead
2) Again, irrelevant to programmer.
Either making a good game or bad game, you still need to pay the programmer.
>They think AAA programmers are well paid
the game didn't cost shit. keeping all these lazy devs cost 200$mil
>GET WOKE GO BROKE
Except this isn't woke, even most gay people will tell you Sweet baby inc are a bunch of fricking freaks.
There's something very out of place with them, almost like they're trying set equality back decades by hijacking established media to fuel hate on purpose. They don't sit right.
have a nice day homosexual.
Looks like they're tactic is working too. Keep raging at things that don't affect you, because you're being played like a fiddle.
I still can't believe this game was even made. There were actual living, breathing, human beings that thought gamers would spend money for this. They thought this with such certainty that they were willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars and allow a massive studio to develop it for the better part of a decade.
Absolutely astounding. Every single person on Ganker could have saved them nearly half a billion dollars.
And it's not like it came as a surprise. From the very moment they announced they were working on suicide squad instead of Superman/Batman Beyond/Justice League/wtv, the overwhelming reaction was a "meh, not interested". There was no noise about this game, no one cared, it was extremely clear it wouldn't sell early on. And despite the numerous problems and delays during development, and still with no interest from anyone to be found anywhere, no one at the studio thought to ask if it was worth continuing forward with the idea.
As far as I'm concerned, frick em, and I'm glad they'll be shut down after this blunder.
$200M and barely 100 players playing the game just a few months after release. Fricking lmao.
>no one at the studio thought to ask if it was worth continuing forward with the idea.
Why should I?
If I voice out my disapproval, I'm considered a negative person and hard to work with, and I will be let go in the next lay offs.
If I voiced out my disapproval, and the company saved money from releasing the blunder, it's the CEO doing a good job, and he deserve a raise & bonus for being so insightful.
I'm just here to do my job and get paid, I don't care if the company is gonna make a moron decision as long as I continue getting paid.
If the company died, I can simply find a new job.
>Arkham: Suicide Squad
>Play as Harley and others as you intersect with both heroes and villains in the Batman universe
>Everyone has melee attacks and gadgets
>it plays like the Arkham games
>Harley has a bat among other things
>You have to sneak around Arkham Asylum to recruit someone
>or around Joker Gang's HQ
>Harley x Joker is the big storyline
>You fight and run away from Batman several times
There I just made your game, for a fraction of the cost.
game execs are basically hollywood execs now where they are so out of touch and divorced from reality and so surrounded by "yes men" they think they can make whatever shit they want and the consumer will lap it up and ask for more.
did they ever say how much of a mistake gotham knights was?
What's crazy is that is probably did better than Suicide Squad. For one Gotham Knights had a shorter development, it has characters people actually like, it took leas time to develop, and it was able to get a check from streaming services (ps+/gamepass.) No streaming service is going to cut a check for a live service game that has 6 daily players.
WB just killed Rooster Teeth and I'm guessing it didn't cost the company 200 million.
To be fair, it's hard to validate a department when it's full of dude Bros jerking off on the office furniture.
Rocksteady only in name alone just like Bungie. Everyone relevant already left.
Oh no no no no, SS bros, we got too wienery!
Every time I see an update, it gets even lower. Will it dip in double digits, I wonder?
I don't see why not.
>reportedly
oh no!!
not the sbi slop!!!
>Arkham fans BEGGED them to simply not release this stinker
>this slop was in the works for an actual decade
holy frick how did WB never cancel this nor greenlit the Superman game they wanted to make back when they were still good
Thinking about it... I'm kind of glad they didnt. I don't want to be political but if Sweet Bebe Inc had their hands in SS from the start, I can only imagine how a woke Superman game would play out.
>Suicide Squad film is a hit! We need to cash in on that!
>Fortnite is huge. We need something like that!
>We'll make billions!
This is the mindset. They got greedy.
>Suicide Squad film is a hit!
It wasn't
suicide squad wasnt a hit tho... beither was the reboot. The only goid Suicide Squad was the first animated movie.
And I distinctly remember the first movie being set in the Arkham Universe
>suicide squad wasnt a hit tho
It sadly was at the box office with 750mil on a 175mil budget.
Somebody will say I'm taking part in some capeshit chode measuring contest, but the reality is both BVS and SS made enough money to warrant sequels, JL and that forgettable sequel with new characters. The DCEU overall wasn't profitable and is getting rebooted by a former MCU frickup who thinks quirky humor and talking raccoons are peak storytelling.
Harley Quinn was a huge and a huge merchandise pusher. Not Suicide Squad.
They need to take Harley, make a Stellar Blade-like game out of her, and rake in the money.
But you can't do that these days because being attractive in a video game is wrong and you need to shut the frick up.
Good, death to capeshit.
When you think about it, the future of Rocksteady and games like the Arkham series all depends on the success of Wonder Woman. If that game fails, it's all downhill.
That's the last single player superhero game they have in the works if it hasn't been gutted already. If that game fails, it's all over. You've got Wonder Woman who is a strong female lead and guaranteed woke points. You got superhero shit attached to it. Just give her a nice ass and a sexy accent and you've got the Stellar Blade crowd. Throw in a cameo or two of the Justice League that doesn't involve murder and you're done.
The worst thing they can do at this point is connect the Wonder Woman game at all to Suicide Squad. Don't do any cameos, don't even fricking connect it to their multiverse bullshit that even associates them together.
anon that's the same as saying there's no hope, there's no way they didn't concentrate their efforts on pozzing Wonder fricking Woman up as much as possible instead of making a good game
>The “live service looter shooter” angle was reportedly not forced by management, but it was Rocksteady’s leadership who made the decision to pursue the game instead of alternatives.
so it's just sheer coincidence that the WB head is going all in on live service even after this bombed and Hogwarts Legacy did gangbusters
Why are western devs so fricking stubborn? They could just copy shit from Japan but all they do is make homosexual garbage for morons and then lose money.

Oof. Looks like the curator page worked perfectly and corpos are aware of the "consultant" grift now.
