Still obsessed with the live service gravy train I see. When will they learn? Most people play games for fun, not to live in them. Most game companies failed to replicate WoW’s success because they first focussed on monetization instead of a good experience first. Most companies failed at the live service, also because of it. They focussed on monetization rather than a fun experience.
WB’s CEO thinks that Suicide Squad failed not because it was a terrible game but because no one wants to play a Suicide Squad game. So he thinks Hogwarts based live service would do great because Hogwarts Legacy did well. Talk about not actually understanding what your customers want.
I hate to say it, but they may be right when it comes to Harry Potter. That IP is on the level of Pokémon where regular people will play simply because they’re obsessed with the IP even if the game is rotten with monetization. I hope I’m wrong, Niantic’s failure with their Harry Potter game is evidence I may be.
