How are you gonna prove a company doesnt think their product should be 100 base price? Launch sales happen. If they never raise the price then yeah you could maybe get that for false advertising.

No, no, but you see, Harley had a bunch of offscreen character development between games that means you couldn't write any actually intersting interactions with a character who was basically the core drive of her story. Some people might say that is an incredibly uncreative and boring way to look characters, but according to the defends that's just an example of how good the writing is!

They dont reset you level to 0. the levels you earned playing season 0 or "Finite Levels" are still there and playable while still having a new set of levels and masteries attached to the season 1 "Fear". Ive seen people complain about previous build not working with the current season but i think its a fun mechanic with the "Meta Busters" which stop you from using items and builds that previously worked and force you to try out new build with the new items that the season introduced (though i think a stash would be helpful as items are becoming cumbersome). This is only Episode 1 of Season 1 with 3 more Episodes coming with new characters and new items presumably coming as well.

Hell we don't have to go that back, Fortnite's Seasons, as much as i'm not a fan of the genre, are and have been pretty damn solid always brining in new content, weapons, skins, new stuff to do, new maps etc. Roblox has also been killing it for a while too. I think the reason why games aimed more at younger kids have so much quality content that comes out on a consistent base is because kids generally have low attention spans and need to be stimulated way more than adults or even teenagers need to be. The devs making games aimed at this young crowd are very aware of this and they know that in order to maintain a playerbase they need to pump out content not just consistently but that content needs to be quality too. Kids are not adults, the concept of a sunk cost fallacy where one plays a thing they hate because they bought it already does not exist in a child's brain .

we need a collective lawsuit. Every critic, every gamer, all 30k people, file a lawsuit against WB and Rocksteady. crowdfund it. sh*t like this should not be allowed to exist.

Lawsuit for what lmao disappointment? Are you even a shareholder?

@@stinkfinga4918 CDPR got a lawsuit by their own investors and a government investigation when they put out Cyberpunk. You don't need to be a shareholder. You bought the product, therefore you are a paying customer.

[@stinkfinga4918]

@nikt12 the government investigation was brought on by shareholders, the investors, the people who actually lost money on lies. If you're dumb enough to buy it you don't get anything. Cyberpunk was largely unplayable on release. The only thing wrong with SS is its a lazy cash grab. That's not illegal. It's like buying the big candy bar only to find it's just two smaller ones in the wrapper. Again, if you're dumb enough to buy it, you get nothing. Instead, just focus on keeping the heat on companies and actually researching products before purchase. You can boycott, you can call out groups like Sweet Baby or practices like DEI, but you got nothing to sue them for as a consumer.

I think the worst part about all this is there’s people who are trying to defend this BS game

[@jeremyzak654]

Most likely employees of WB

[@AngelOfDæth_4]

That's what kills me. These goofy mfs will call you every name in the book for criticizing this trash bag ass game too

People still defend literal traitors to their country, ofc they'll defend a game company that gave them a tiny bit of amusement.

I had been looking forward to the Wonder Woman game but after seeing how WB has been managing their IPs recently I'm really starting to worry.

[@karimdavis7065]

I don't blame you. WB should sell DC

woke activists work there so expect garbage content. The hole industry is infected with them. If you see female lead, RED FLAG, it will suck.

[@chaosXP3RT]

​@@karimdavis7065WB is going into the ground. It's a death spiral. They're making budget cuts everywhere and trying to sell IP's everywhere. WB is already shutting down RoosterTeeth and they're trying to sell all of RT's IPs (RWBY, RvB, Gen:lock, Camp Camp, etc.)

This isn't Rocksteady. It's a skinsuit worn by a cynical corporation, just like Blizzard and all the other once beloved developers are these days.

[@healsallwounds]

Might I add that, from a lore perspective, this whole power-copying thing the various Brainiacs use is NOT a thing Brainiac has done in any comic, animated show or video game? Copying the JL is Amazo’s schtick, not Brainiac’s. Granted, Rocksteady didn’t seem interested in following their own lore, so why would they care about anyone else’s? EDIT: It also occurs to me that it makes no sense for Brainiac, a supposed super-genius, to continue to use a losing strategy against the Suicide Squad.
