They also closed Monolith, a great studio behind e.g. FEAR amd Shadow of Mordor games. They are making all the wrong decisions, and then will wonder why they have lost to competitors.

I loved shadow of mordor/war, and always wondered why they didn't make another. However I also guess better to go out early before it's done to death

They didn't make another because they were forced to make a game that was Wonder Woman and live service. How does that work? Clearly they didn't know either since they spun their wheels for like seven years, lost all their old staff, and then got shut down.

Yeah why would they keep making games that were successful when instead they could make games that no one asked for

Someone high up in WB asked for it, clearly someone who knows better than all those developers and consumers

Some of the best games are games that no one asked for.

I liked SoM but War felt like a worse dlc
