Warner Bros. Announces no bug fix for Arkham Orgins, instead plans paid DLC.

Warner Bros. Arkham franchise had been on the path of success, with the first two games of the series being excellently designed and critically acclaimed. However, their most recent release, Arkham Origins, felt like a step back to many gamers and consequentially received mixed reviews. However, perhaps more importantly is that unlike the other games in the franchise, Orgins is riddled with bugs, some of which are game breaking. This is inexcusable after being on the market for four months. However, instead of working on creating a patch to fix these major issues, the developers are instead working on paid downloadable content to try and get some extra money from fans of the franchise. Oddly enough, they went as far as to say that they currently have do not plans to fix the issues after they release the DLC, seemingly content to leave the consumers that purchased the game with a semi-broken product. Personally, I see this as bad business ethics and a major slap in the face to their dedicated fan base.

 Beyond this, as the Wii U version of the game didn't meet sales projections they are entirely cutting support for that version, even going as far to cancel the DLC. There is already a backlash over these decisions and Warner Bros. may be facing damage to their sales of future games in the franchise as a consequence.
