In other words, Warner Bros has learned absolutely nothing from their recent Suicide Squad failure. One would think that after the first time they forced a single-player focused dev team that regularly produced hits to make live-service garbage, they'd have learned something. Hogwarts Legacy wasn't even that good of a game, largely due to the live-service elements it already had, but it sold way, way more than Suicide Squad.

Honest question: what live-service content does it have? Because I played through the game one and a half times and found no live-service crap. Sure there's the "DLC" for the dark wizard crap, but that doesn't really count imo since you can get that whenever

Unless there was something at launch that’s gone now, I can’t think of any. One totally optional cosmetic DLC and a couple of pre-order bonuses that don’t affect the story at all, but when I played it last month, I didn’t feel there was anything missing.
