Free-to-play Smash Bros.-style brawler MultiVersus has significantly underperformed, publisher Warner Bros. Discovery has admitted, contributing to a further $100 million writedown for the company’s games business in 2024.
Ironically? I noticed at some point in the last few weeks McDonalds switched from WB MultiVersus happy meal toys to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe...which came out in 2017 and somehow is still relevant enough to get happy meal toys
also seems ime that well designed, fun games without the pachinko-esque delivered treats of skins and xp bonuses are still worth playing just because they deliver fun just by gameplay
some examples being Goldeneye Source, Wreckfest, Tetris 99, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Battle.bit Remastered
felt bad to give up on fall guys but the mobile integration ruined an already dying platform
