Industry - Bloomberg
On May 9, during an earnings call, Warner Bros. revealed that it was taking a $200 million
loss on Suicide
Squad — making it one of the gaming
world's worst blunders.
One of the biggest issues, said people familiar, was that the battles, levels and bosses in a live-service game needed to be designed so players could tackle them over and over again, while Rocksteady was accustomed to telling stories that were only experienced once. Hampered by bloated code, the team struggled to find ways to make these activities feel less tedious
and repetitive.
Many of the studio's employees are now helping to develop a new “director's cut” version of Hogwarts
Legacy. At the same time, according to people familiar, the studio leaders are looking
to pitch
a new single-player game, which would
return
Rocksteady to its roots.

They were such shit characters too lol. Basically they were perfect with no flaws whatsoever because even if the black witch is overall a good person, she can't have any negative qualities, that would be racist.

Black witches never invented wands but uhhh actually using your fingers is better anyway and euro wizards spent all their time and effort making special wands for no reason

Just incorporate the mods to do it. Wouldn't play the game without being able to commit some trans erasure.

I think that's the best bit of all this. The Suicide Squad game was a no-hoper from the start, but it sucked even more massively than anyone expected. So what is Warner Bros hoping will save their asses?
TERF Mommy inspired game. You know, the game all the activists were assuring us nobody would play because who cares about Harry Potter anymore?
The seething is going to be exquisite.
