I believe that what you see as a gold mine WB sees as old collapsed coal mine. To them games you can monetize forever and make players work in them or things to ease the grind is the gold mine.

Indie studios are mostly carrying games right now. The answer for AAA companies is to go AA. Don't rely on overused IP (maybe create a new one), have much smaller budgets, no more live service slop, and take chances. People are getting tired of the same games churned out with selfish intent. We want decade-defining art that we can look back on and go, "yep, that was so 2020's". The biggest issue with gaming is the big companies were in such a race to advance technology that they eventually stopped looking at the implications, like is this expensive to the consumer? Are AAA games too expensive to produce within a halfway decent timespan? Are the budgets realistic? Companies like Microsoft, Activision, and Warner Bros. are comfortably jaded at this point. They will get to a point where the money dries up, another company buys up their IP and the cycle renews. It's up to Indie studios to eventually become the new AAA studios and hope they learn from the mistakes of the past.

A good hint at Zaslav's decision making skills is his wardrobe choices. He looks like an out of touch Eastern European gangster trying to dress like an American Frat boy. I mourn the loss of Batgirl and the Wile E Coyote movie to this day. At least I can pick up Mad Max and play that to reminisce about better days. Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Titans, and to a lesser extent Game of Thrones were the only things that really got me to watch HBO Max. Now I never touch Max.
They already killed off the cartoon so basically WB is not gonna be a thing soon enough and they’re digging their own grave if they don’t start listening to fans.
Zaslav became successful by churning out countless cheap trashy reality shows. They made money because they were sensationalist trash that people only watched because it was like looking at a train crash. Zaslav does not know how to make things of quality and effort.
We are in the middle of a video game market crash. The live service, unfinished, buggy beta releases have driven everyone to NOT buy games unless its a must have.
Can't these corporations just F off already!!! Transition the games industry - Independent studios NO SHAREHOLDERS or owned by other corps. OWNED by the workers, investment is in the company, staff and work NOT the stocks.
Blame the studios who sold their soul to the devil. Shareholders are just numbers on a board ghe studios do what they think makes them happy. Nlame the studio always
How do you have Batman, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings and you can't put together a game people want to play? At the very least, a MK vs DC-style Harry Potter vs LotR game would be something fun to talk about.
Thats the crazy thing about all this; that game development is so hard, so erratic, and takes so long to do, and the guys making the decisions cant make up their mind and are leading people into fire. While those same people are wondering "are we making enough to stave off layoffs", those very execs are going to rake in millions in bonuses regardless
The problem wasn't the game idea itself. It was the execution. The boring ass paint by numbers game play. The decision to let SBI have anything to do with it. That's why the game failed. The facial animations and character models are the only things they did right. Everything else was just trash. The same failure of decision making is what ruined Gotham Knights and the live action Teen Titans.
Exactly why game developers should be the only ones making decisions regarding what type of game and how to make a game. Rich bastards that get pissy cuz they don't make X amount of money in a month shouldn't have a say regarding the type of games their company makes. They ain't actually creating anything just shoving money in someone's face and telling you do what I say now. If enough live service games finally start bombing when they come out maybe they wake the hell up.
Bit conversely, it's those rich bastard's who finance the whole thing. Nobody will just throw away millions without assurance of a return. Even if they really don't know what the hell they are talking about.
Don’t understand why MS would want to buy or take a stake in these studios as WB would still have so much of a say when it comes to games with their IP involved. Just seems really messy. Rocksteady is basically no longer the same company that made the Batman games after losing so many of the staff who made those games.
Ok no Iger is not even close to being the same as Zaslav, 2023 aside he knows how to respect the creatives and not meddle with things. So he's recently manadated sequels for a few of their billion dollar movies and franchises with more likely on the way, but he's not dictating how those sequels get made or what the stories will be about. Inside out 2 and Deadpool 3 were already in development before he came back so fair enough we won't count those. But Moana 2 was almost certainly his idea to make into a movie and that'll be the true test for his approach. Point is though he is smart enough to not overstep his bounderies the way Zaslav has been doing. He's basically the teacher that sets the assignment but is lax about how you get it done, where Zaslav is the guy who will throw out your well crafted essay just cause there's one thing he does'nt like in it.
If they want a quick and easy win, put rocksteady on an arkham origins remastered. Just make sure it's optimized(this time) and allows 1080p or 4k resolution with all the suits and dlc. There you go WB, its as easy as that.
All these CEOs are now hired for getting free money for no work. That's the thing, they do know what they want, they want money without ever making anything good, maximum profit without costing anything.
Because he has no idea wth he's doing especially with the gaming division, they need to cut Ties with him before it gets even worse and put people in charge who know what they're doing or just liquidate their assets
Hope this leads to them backtracking on the everything live as a service stuff that was the business model for games that they were pushing, still worries me what the Wonder Woman game could end up being. Didn't WB Games almost being sold off previously also have something to do with why NetherRealm made MK1 after MK11 instead of making Injustice 3. I can understand having the DC movies, TV shows & animated being connected but I think it's a mistake to try & have the games be apart of that as well.
I should have known better to buy another WB game after I bought Mortal Kombat X and the damned engine didn't shut down after my very first session. I played for 30 minutes. Exited the game, turned off my monitor, and went to a movie with some friends. Came back many hours later and the engine was still running in the background, pushing my hours over the limit for a refund on Steam. But, I thought Back 4 Blood looked good and I do love zombie shooters. So, I bought the Ultimate Edition. Less than 2 years later, it was tossed in the bin by WB. Never again will I buy another WB game.
Zaslav has to go. He has done this. Failure over and over and over again and he still demands a salary of millions. The board needs to 🪓 him immediately and make moves to undo his terrible decisions.
Honestly, I wish Midway arcade games would be sold to Raw Thrills or Atari. Storing unused IPs is a serious waste of money. It would be nice to sell Gauntlet to Atari, but it would also be nice to sell it to Arrowhead.
The only good thing Zaslav has done was put Gunn in charge of DC, everything else has been terrible with the choices he's made. From the disastrous handling of Flash, canceling completed projects with weak excuses, treating animation like garbage despite how many classic animated ip they have. Using every scummy tactic in the book when it comes to Video Games, being extremely tone deaf during the strikes. It is very clear Discovery and Zaslav have been a disaster for Warner brothers even more than At&t which was already a mess. And they just keep doubling down despite even when everyone's screaming at them to grow some common sense.
These CEOs never face any real consequences for their bad decisions, so they keep making them. If they were actually punished in tangible ways e.g. Their salaries and stock holdings took a hit, then we'd see actual good decisions being made because they'd have a vested interest in the products they oversee and make good decisions that would benefit everybody, hopefully.
I love how Scott is still talking like rocksteady is the same company that made the original Arkham trilogy, everyone who was involved in those games are gone. Maybe it’s time we let go of the hope that rocksteady can regain its former glory.
I kinda like the idea of another company coming in to take over and maybe changing things. Rocksteady doesn't have the same people that worked on the Arkham games.
Is it that hard to make a Batman game that doesn’t have stupid politics inserted? Make another Arkham style Batman game with a new story and maybe slight changes to characters and obviously new story and it’ll sell very well then spin it off into a shared universe with Superman game, the flash game, green lantern and make sequels to the successful ones AND MAKE THEM SINGLEPLAYER STORY DRIVEN GAMES FROM THR START
since i haven't been keeping up to date on most of the stuff with Warner Bros, the only real complaints with them so far is the fact that they prevented other companies like Capcom from using the Nemesis System and Warner Bros heavily under utilize it, they are obsessed with making Live Service Games when it is a failing market and that no gamer wants them and the fact that if they were making a Offline Mode for Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League to help players who can't play online and to preserve that game, why haven't they already released it yet. those are pretty much my major complaints with them
I don't get why people thought Gotham knights knights was so bad! I thought it was pretty good and it was definitely leagues better than suicide squad.
All WB need to do to make money is to let Rocksteady.NRS and Monolith alone without forcing them to rape their games with MTX and Live Services and ... MAKE GOOD GAMES Also... MAKE USE OF THE FREAKING NEMESIS ALREADY. Since you're locked the idea and concept and took full ownership of it so you can be a pricky stopping everyone else from using it. Then start doing something with it.
They did do that with the Harry Potter game which was a massive success and they still seem to want to push more games like their flopped Suicide Squad game, THEY MAKE NO SENSE!! And apparently their Wonder Woman game will have the nemesis system which isnt really where we want it either, WB is just a company that chooses the worst option all the time
Do you wanna know how to make money with video games? Just make a great game! Elden Ring proved that you don't need predatory bullshit to make a killing. On the other hand, it's the culmination of about fifteen years of word of mouth and playerloyalty/goodwill.
When company leadership pivots from the goal of making good products to make their consumers happy to only making products to look good for and to make their shareholders happy, that’s usually when they start putting out mediocre, aimless or just bad products and their whole foundation that the company is actually dependent on (the consumer) falls away and the company crumbles 🤷♀️
It’s kind of funny because every one is so quick to say the latest game is the worst game ever, till the next game comes out, then all of sudden the next game is the worst game ever and the last game wasn’t that bad.
They defined superhero games with Arkham…. Then changed every aspect of it for squishy squad… tragic

They did do that with the Harry Potter game which was a massive success and they still seem to want to push more games like their flopped Suicide Squad game, THEY MAKE NO SENSE!! And apparently their Wonder Woman game will have the nemesis system which isnt really where we want it either, WB is just a company that chooses the worst option all the time
The real Rocksteady top devs are making their own independent game that is rumored to be funded by Microsoft.
Could...you know...make a great single player game. Might just work, ask insomniac.
If Warner Bros remade Urban Chaos: Riot Response through Rocksteady, what would it look like ya think?
Zaslav salting WB
I would've been happy with a mad max 2 or even a third game in the "shadow of...." series.
Worst/buisness
Maybe Atari should buy it?
Man i hope xbox buys them so we can play all that on gamepass
I don't get this video people hate WB games right now so why are you guys upset they selling off some of studios?
They just keep cutting their own legs off bit by bit.
So how can we free Netherelm?!
Honestly they shouldve stuck with Lego games instead
Do you wanna know how to make money with video games?
Just make a great game! Elden Ring proved that you don't need predatory bullshit to make a killing.
On the other hand, it's the culmination of about fifteen years of word of mouth and playerloyalty/goodwill.
When company leadership pivots from the goal of making good products to make their consumers happy to only making products to look good for and to make their shareholders happy, that’s usually when they start putting out mediocre, aimless or just bad products and their whole foundation that the company is actually dependent on (the consumer) falls away and the company crumbles 🤷♀️
Prediction - SEGA to buy WB Games.
Never gonna happen.
Ya see bugs?......
After Suicide Squad how insanely good does Akrham Knights look now... lol... Tell me you would not want Arkham Knights 2 over Suicide Squad haha...
It’s kind of funny because every one is so quick to say the latest game is the worst game ever, till the next game comes out, then all of sudden the next game is the worst game ever and the last game wasn’t that bad.
@@DraGanix33 Indeed - But a live service looter shooter was never a good idea - Its like WB really had no idea what the hell they were doing... lol...
Suicide squad sucked and lost tons of money and I don't want either nor a sequel to arkham nights
@@Silenthitman44 then don’t but or play it,
@DraGanix33
Lol who's playing either game right now 🤣
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
They got money to burn
Sees title of vid.
FFS, what now?
Im going to bed
Its a good thing i have therapy tomorrow
Rocksteady…. Is NOT the same company as it once was… WB can have what pathetic excuse of an activist development team that works there.
