Business decisions are always interesting. Hogwarts sold through the roof and is a standard AAA titles. Suicide flopped and is live service.

Most cycle plans are built on estimated cash flow. I'm guessing WB, like many others, is over predicting what live service will bring. For every fornite there is a dozen flops.

Good luck WB.
