Prestoff 05/10/24 11:15:25 AM #1:	Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has disappointed Warner Bros. Discovery, owner of developer Rocksteady, *to the tune of a $200 million hit to revenue.* Reporting its Q1 financial results, Warner Bros. Discovery said its Games revenue declined significantly as a result of a tough comparison with last years best-selling video game Hogwarts Legacy. *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice generated significantly lower revenues compared with those generated by Hogwarts Legacy during the same three-month period, the company said.* In a follow-up investor-focused call, Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav called the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League *disappointing*, before Warner Bros. Discovery chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels detailed an impairment charge the company absorbed as a result of the games failure. "Starting with Studios, the $400 million+ year-over-year decline during Q1 was primarily due to the very tough comp we faced in games against the success of Hogwart's Legacy last year in the first quarter, in conjunction with the disappointing Suicide Squad release this past quarter, which we impaired, leading to a $200 million impact to EBITDA during the first quarter," Wiedenfels said. EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was panned by critics upon launch, with extremely low player numbers on Steam. Some of the frustration stems from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League not being another Batman game from Rocksteady, despite the fact it is set within the Arkhamverse. The developers Batman Arkham series is much-loved by fans, with 2011s Batman: Arkham City in particular held up as one of the greatest, if not the greatest superhero video game of all time. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, on the other hand, is a live service third-person combat game in which Batman is a villain. Rocksteady now faces tough questions around Warner Bros. long-term commitment to Suicide Squads live service. Warner Bros. is yet to announce Rocksteady's next project. But earlier this month, it revealed Batman: Arkham Shadow, a VR game developed by Camouflaj, maker of the Iron Man VR game, and set for release exclusively on the Meta Quest 3 later in 2024. https://www.ign.com/articles/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-flop-leads-to-200-million-impairment-charge-warner-bros-confirms Yet their big takeaway from this is probably to quadruple down on mobile/freemium and live service games. Such a joke of a studio. I get they're the only movie studio to have a gaming division, but I think they're hiring the wrong exec heads for it. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:980330713] in WB says th...

Being unfun to play in order to push monetization is literally the entire point of a GaaS. While you guys are right, he isn't wrong that the game could've found some form of success if the game was good/fun. Helldivers 2, Fortnite, Destiny 2, FF14, and Genshin Impact are all GaaS and they found levels of financial success that non-GaaS will never be able to make.

bigblu89 05/10/24 1:39:22 PM #36:	This game holds a very ominous place in my household. My wife knows very little about video games, but I mentioned this game in passing when it was first in development, saying something like "If it can be anything like the Arkham games, but with all the Suicide Squad members, it has potential to be really good". And then it came out. And then unknown to me, she got it for me for my birthday from the kids. And I played it once. And now anytime she sees me playing anything other than that, she asks why I'm not playing it, and I don't have the heart to tell her that it's god awful. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. <cite>bigblu89 posted [p:980332720] in WB says th...
