Suicide
Squad:
Kill
The
Justice
League
Warner
Bros.
Discovery
admitted
what
we
already
knew:
Suicide
Squad:
Kill
The
Justice
League
flopped.
Spotted
on
IGN,
Warner
Bros.
Discovery
came
clean
about
Suicide
Squad:
Kill
The
Justice
League
and
how
it
missed
the
mark
since
its
Feb.2
launch
during
an
earnings
call.
Per
IGN:
Speaking
during
a
financial
call,
Warner
Bros.
Discovery
Chief
Financial
Officer,
Gunnar
Wiedenfels,
admitted
Rocksteady’s
game
hadn’t
done
the
business
the
company
had
hoped
for
since
going
on
sale
on
February
2
priced
$70,
saying
it
had
“fallen
short
of
our
expectations.”
The
company
did
not
share
the
exact
sales
figures
for
the
game
but
did
admit
that
its
failure
made
it
a
“tough
year”
for
Warner
Bros.
Discovery
game’s
business
regarding
year-to-year
comparisons.
While
everyone
in
the
video
games
industry
saw
the
writing
on
the
wall
following
that
disastrous
PlayStation
State
of
Play
presentation
that
eventually
led
to
the
game
being
delayed
till
Feb.2,
Warner
Bros.
Discovery
was
hoping
it
could
repeat
the
success
of
Hogwarts
Legacy,
which
was
the
best
selling
game
of
2023.
Well,
they
were
wrong.
Since
its
launch,
the
live-service
action
looter
shooter
peaked
at
13,459
concurrent
players
on
Steam;
that
number
has
nosedived
since.
At
the
time
of
IGN’s
reporting,
only
480
people
were
playing
the
game,
with
a
24-hour
peak
at
888.
Regardless
of
how
you
felt
about
this
game
since
its
first
announcement,
this
news
sucks.
We
were
rooting
for
this
game
to
win
because
no
one
should
be
out
here
actively
hoping
for
a
studio,
especially
Rocksteady
Games,
to
drop
a
terrible
game.
Damn,
you
hate
to
see
it.
