By An extensive new report at Bloomberg has gone into the failure of Rocksteady Games’ live service title “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League”.
The developer’s switch from its acclaimed single-player “Batman: Arkham” games to the live service ‘Squad’ has reportedly led to a $200 million loss for its parent company Warner Bros. Pictures,
