Here we go again...
Warner Bros and Monolith’s upcoming Wonder Woman game will likely have live service aspects, according to a new job posting.
The position, posted to Warner Bros’ own website, is in reference to a Lead Software Engineer, Gameplay. It states under “nice to haves” that successful candidates will have “experience helping maintain a live software product or game”.
This tact comes at the same time Warner Bros CEO David Zaslav has said he wants the company’s video games to adopt live service models to increase revenue.
“Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises… with the goal to have more players spending more time on more platforms,” Zaslav said.
“Ultimately we want to drive engagement and monetisation of longer cycles and at higher levels,” he continued. “We are currently under scale and see significant opportunity to generate greater post purchase revenue.”
The problem here is that players are starting to revolt against live service games on the whole. Square Enix’s Avengers title flopped because of its live service nature, and fans were incredibly vocal when discovering Rocksteady’s upcoming Suicide Squad would include those elements as well.
