In practice, itfell short of expectations, lost Warner Bros Entertainment$200 million, and struggles even now togather more than 200 concurrentson Steam. As I write, only 56 people are playing it on Valve’s platform (though doubtless there are more elsewhere).
Staff proceeded to inform the site that there’d be more layoffs coming, with one member stating they were laid off during their paternity leave—fortunately, Rocksteady is based in the UK, which means said employee should be receiving the rest of their leaveregardless of their unemployment status.
Anonymous staff members also expressed concerns that these cuts to the QA department would “leave their remaining colleagues shouldered with more work”, and that senior management is already expecting the quality of future Rocksteady games to “suffer as a result.”
There’s nothing I can really add here that hasn’t been repeated time and time again, like with the bleakclosure of Arkane Austin after Redfall. Everyone wants to make a live service, because live service games make bank when they hit—but those pulls on the metaphorical slot machine aredownright wasteful. Of industry talent, of their work, and of the games that could have been.
