On a positive note if this game does die in it's first few quarters, Rocksteady will have mass layoffs so the shareholders can still make the line go up.

Until there's a systemic change that creates genuine pain for the decision makers that are shielded from consequence when these failures happen, this will continue to be a story we hear every few months (or at least once a quarter if I'm being genuine in my cynicism).

The best part is that even if the game were a huge success they'd still probably have a mass layoff to boost executive bonuses.

Ex: Hasbro/Larian Studios

I see this as an absolute win! Make live service games fail!
