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.

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.

One of these days people will learn to not preorder games

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.

I've heard of day 0 bugs but jesus guys, come on. Expectations were already low.

I'd like to imagine this is analogous to autocomplete on a keyboard, like if I mash "A" a few times to get to the title screen and game's like "Did you mean A A A A A Start Start Down Start A A B Right Right..."

Why does it look exactly like PUBG?

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Pfft you can't even shoot purple orbs in PUBG

I was genuinely checking whether it was the Onion when I first saw that headline. What the fuck, Rocksteady? 😅

I can imagine Rocksteady could have made a solid game in the vein of the Arkham series if WB execs with zero competence didn't interfere. A real waste of talent.
