: Rocksteady has laid off more than half of its QA team due to the poor performance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Staff figures dropped from 33 to 15, with additional job cuts outside the QA team. Warner Bros. incurred a $200 million loss due to the game.

Rocksteady experienced significant layoffs following the disappointing sales of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, with the QA team being most affected. Employee numbers in QA were reduced from 33 to 15, and other departments also saw job cuts, including some long-term staff members.

The layoffs are causing concern among remaining employees, particularly as some of the dismissed QA staff had specialist knowledge crucial to the game's development. Senior management at Rocksteady admitted that the quality of future products would likely suffer due to these reductions.

The game, anticipated by fans for its connection to the Batman Arkham series, suffered from delays and poor initial previews. It ultimately received lackluster reviews and failed to meet expectations, leading to a $200 million loss for Warner Bros.
