Warner Bros. reportedly lost $200 million on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a game that, at one point, had fewer concurrent players than a decade-old farming simulator. At the same time, Helldivers 2 launched and became a global phenomenon. This isn't a coincidence; it's a crime scene.

Join us as we perform an autopsy on the AAA live service model, dissecting the systemic negligence, creative bankruptcy, and corporate greed that is repeatedly killing gaming's biggest projects. From the catastrophic collapses of Suicide Squad and Skull and Bones to the historical precedents set by Anthem and Marvel's Avengers, we uncover the recurring patterns of failure. But it's not all doom and gloom; we'll also reveal what Helldivers 2 did right, offering a blueprint for how a game can thrive by prioritizing fun and player respect over cynical monetization.

This isn't the death of live service; it's a brutal, but necessary, market correction. Discover why the future of gaming belongs to developers who prioritize quality, not just quarterly earnings.
