This is weird...
Is their actual target audience 50 year olds? It's a common practice in advertising to match actors to the target audience, and in this case, it would completely explain, why they don't give a fuck about the backlash from the young...
It does seem stupid, but boomers didn't grow the disgust from microtransactions yes, so it would make sense to try catching them. But why DC then?
This is just weird.
(Obvious white guy punching bag doesn't need any explanation here)

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
This game has probably cost Warner Bros at least $200 million to get this far
I sense a ton of funny articles to come out tomorow.
@LukeAlmighty by all accounts from people who have actually played it, at least before the delay, it was not good. i see a lot of games get delays and then end up being bad anyway and it's really just that you can't fix something that's inherently broken.
the game is probably DOA. honestly even if it is somewhat polished and plays alright, who the hell is going to continue playing it past the first few weeks of launch? most people will go back to whatever live service game they currently play.
@LukeAlmighty also, totally forgot about multiversus lol. how is warner bros planning on supporting two live service games that will be dead within the year? they'll go into eol quickly, mark my words.
@beardalaxy
That game still exists?
@LukeAlmighty it was in beta from 2022-2023 for about a year, and then they took it down. the last time we heard about the full release date was that it was going to be in early 2024, that was back in march 2023.
@beardalaxy Marvel's avangers I totally forgot about that game.
Yeah. Marvel tried this model too. In it's peak, and it didn't work. The game is offline now too.
@LukeAlmighty I am 55 and I am definitely not the target audience for this ad. Maybe some millennial ad executive thinks that this is what 50 year olds identify with?
@fuxoft
I am deeply sorry for blaming this on your age group then.
@LukeAlmighty this is going to be one of the worst AAA games of all time, i just know it
the pc version is going to be an unoptimized piece of shit that nobody can play even if they wanted to
