Some publisher dickheads are totally unaware their business minmaxxing is absolutely the reason this product wasn't developed properly but I am sure the devs at rocksteady will get all the flak as per usual and the people actually responsible for this sabotage will probably move laterally to another position where they can ruin more shit people like for a six figure income.

Warner Bros owns Rocksteady and WB is absolutely destroying itself with bad decisions ever since the Discovery merger. They were already bad before, but David Zaslav seems to have made it his life's mission to ruin everything he touches and is of course as hands-on as he possibly can be as CEO.

After getting disappointing sales figures they will probably conclude it’s all because console gaming is dead and that they should instead focus on making mobile live service games where the real money is.

Did anyone preorder this dumpster fire?

Yeah I mean you had to buy the deluxe to be in the early access release

Oh and they're going to frame this as a great success. Reality need not apply.
