"Suicide Squad's $200M Flop Casts Long Shadow Over Gaming Industry"

TL;DR Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery suffered a $200 million loss from the troubled launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, attributed to Rocksteady Studios' inexperience with multiplayer games and a constantly changing vision. Development issues included repetitive gameplay and the complexity of creating a massive map and multiple characters. The game's disappointing release led to significant financial pressure, with Rocksteady now focusing on a director's cut of Hogwarts Legacy and potentially a new single-player game.
