These people really undervalue building trust and goodwill in a brand.

They just had a DC-branded live service flop and they think people are going to rush to spend money on another one? >_>

They poured over 200 million into a suicide squad game nobody asked for instead of multiversus, a fun smash game WB likely ruined through game play changes, micro transactions and they eventually left to die.

Screwing over everybody that paid money into (me included). Idc what they release or how great the game is. Im never buying anything of theirs again.

Uh...I never said that. Where did I say that? I said that buying top-tier hardware *JUST* to run AAA games is silly, especially in this day and age when many AAA titles suck ass.

I still remember when I was building my PC - I was browsing some forums when some tool recommended buying better hardware in order to run Gotham Knights (the game wasn't released at the time). The game could suck, you know, and usually these often do.

Sadly, incredibly accurate. It really does bring a tear of joy to my eye when one of these studios releases something that loses them money. Maybe they'll actually focus on the gaming experience.

Why yes! I create videos bragging about using an expensive GPU to wait a six months to a year to play inferior ports of console games, with desolate, hacker-ridden multiplayer.

Imagine having 2 live service game making you lose close to 300 million dollars, and then the best selling title you ever published was a Single Player game with no DLC or Microtransaction that sold over 34 million copies and your thought process goes "Hm, that's what we need moar live service games!". There's a lot of braindead executives that shouldn't be running the gaming division over there at WB.

Plenty of games that can make full use of a high end PC though. WB shitting the bed again and again doesn't seem like a reason to rant about AAA games lol.

It's the trap of executives chasing maximum profit. They see games like Fortnite and GTA Online raking in billions of dollars per year (each made $5 billion+ in 2024) and they desperately want to create their own cash cow. So I'm sure to them, losing 300 million is no big deal compared to the possibility of making 15 times that amount annually. It sucks for fans, but I don't think they'll stop chasing that unicorn
