I'm kind of surprised that they didn't pull the plug as soon as they saw what happened with Avengers. That game did not make money. So even greedy assholes had a reason to change direction on this one.

The concept of Brainiac taking over the Justice League, including Superman so the Suicide Squad has to be called-in has so much fun potential, especially with how Rocksteady handled the Arkham series.

Definitely! That's what makes this live service game so confusing. Rocksteady knows how to make a great game with a great setting, and those have made a bunch of money. But instead, someone saw what happened with Avengers and thought, "second time's the charm?"
