where it's a transitional it's a rebuilding year um you wonder if it'll be a year or is it gonna be whoever buys them next and does all these things that'll rebuild whatever it is it's but it's been it's been like kind of shocking like i'm i'm genuinely surprised that i didn't play hogwarts legacy but i am surprised that it's not getting an expansion just because i think it might have been the best-selling game of the year it came out yes like that is correct you would assume yeah

Yeah. And it's an IP that did not have many games about it for years and years. Like, it was the perfect storm for them. To me, I would have maybe... I could have understood if that news story was... mystery Warner brothers game canceled for Hogwarts legacy expansion.

Yeah. And it's an IP that did not have many games about it for years and years. Like, it was the perfect storm for them. To me, I would have maybe... I could have understood if that news story was... mystery Warner brothers game canceled for Hogwarts legacy expansion.

But canceling that expansion to me is nuts.

I mean, and games do that all the time. Like, I feel like Dredge has like eight expansion packs or something. They're all like 10 bucks. Yeah. Like, you know, like it's easy to do that. It feels, I don't know. It feels like a weird business decision. I don't know if it's a smart business decision.

Yeah, yeah, I definitely think that's the case. And you kind of wonder, what money is being left on the table? How much did they already invest in this? Who's going to be laid off from this? I don't know. You also wonder how many corporate executives are coming in and looking at this Hogwarts legacy expansion and being like, can we add this? Can we put this in? I want this. Who wants that?

Can we have that? Can you cut that? Can we not have actors in it so it doesn't cost anything? Is there a spell where there's no voice acting? How would AI help this game? What can we do with AI? Can we get an NFT in there too? And I imagine that with...

A lot of these games, like if they're doing a Batman game, because Rocksteady probably is on thin ice, I could imagine them being micromanaged to the point where it actually breaks the game.

Yeah. Although, I mean, what I feel like the lesson they should have taken from the Batman is that maybe you don't need a connected universe approach. Sure. You know, maybe you just do your Batman movies and your Superman movies and they don't necessarily need to build up to, you know, Doomsday or something. You have this library.

Right. As long as I don't, but as long as I don't like tie their shoes together with like early movies that are supposed to be the foundation. And then people see one out of the three. Yeah, you know, I will admit that the Justice League Snyder Cut was of the movies. I was like, this is the one where I get what you're doing.
