100% of my excitement for this game died the second it was revealed to be a live service. I feel bad for the developers, but I hope this flops harder than Avengers so publishers will finally stop pushing this garbage. But then they'll of course find some other garbage trend to chase in the hopes of turning every game into a subscription.

The only thing they take from a flop is that people don't like the suicide squad

You're probably right, sadly.

I remember when they announced that Fallout 76 wouldn't have any NPCs. Instant pass. I cannot recall another moment that would cause me to drop any possibility of playing a game more than that.

This whole situation with Suicide Squad reminds me of that, and it's not like Suicide Squad has the name draw like a franchise like Fallout.

For me it was that and Halo: Infinite. Sure I played for a couple weeks at the start, but it wore off real quick.

I feel the same way too.

I can't wait to not buy and then turn around and see the massive chunk of change it makes in its first week so three months later they can announce the service is being taken offline making it unplayable so all that's left of the game is "Suicide Squad 4k All cutscenes!" YouTube videos.

This is fine... /s
