The $200 million flop of 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League' by Rocksteady Studios is attributed to perfectionism, ill-suited genre pivot, and pressure from Warner Bros. executives for a live-service game. The game's troubled development led to a significant loss for Warner Bros., prompting Rocksteady to shift focus to new projects like a 'Director's Cut' for 'Hogwarts Legacy' and a new single-player game.
