I guess it's nice to have confirmation, but I'm not an ounce surprised that the story of Suicide Squad is "big publisher pushed developer to make live-service trash." I'd be hopeful that the Rocksteady single-player title could come back, but Zaslav has committed to making more live-service flops. Absolutely wild that they couldn't learn their lesson from Hogwarts Legacy, you don't even have to make a single-player openworldathon that good and people will still praise it if you have a popular enough IP.
