Can't count out a big F2P / Live Service game because when they hit they hit BIG

But failure rate is also extremely high. Good chance this strategy ends poorly In a recent Morgan Stanley speaking event (thanks Gamespot), Warner Bros. has said that going forward, its strategy will focus on more live-service, mobile, and free-to-play games.

Warner Bros. Discovery gaming boss J.B. Perrette said on the company’s future strategy, “We’re doubling down on games as an area where we think there is a lot more growth opportunity that we can tap into with the IP that we have and some of the capabilities we have on the studio where we’re uniquely positioned as both a publisher and a developer of games.”

“Rather than just launching a one-and-done console game, how do we develop a game around, for example, a Hogwarts Legacy or Harry Potter, that is a live service where people can live and work and build and play in that world in an ongoing basis?” he continued.

The move does come somewhat of a surprise considering Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy was 2023’s best-selling title, which is the first time a game has dethroned Call of Duty or a Rockstar game in over 15 years. By the end of 2023, Hogwarts Legacy achieved a sales milestone of 22 million copies sold – and if that’s not good enough, what is? Warner Bros: Hogwarts was a massive success. Suicide Squad was not. So we've decided to stop making single-player games like Hogwarts.
