It's not the dev's fault, they make what they're told to make. But the President of media enshittifier MAXHBODISCOVERYDUOPOLY has stated that is what they will continue to force feed us in lieu of content we purchase to then enjoy full stop.
Yeah, and he had the gall to say that after Suicide Squad flopped. Guy legitimately looked at suicide squad and Hogwarts Legacy, and decided that more games like suicide squad should be their focus.
When a dev abandon a live service game, I hope they do what Marvel's Avengers did: patch the game to work offline, unlock all paid contents, then has one final big discount before shutting everything off.
this is owned by WB, the same company that canned a 90% complete film where the lead was posting pictures on instagram with a face that said
