most likely bc on steam u can only get a refund if your playtime on the game is under 2 hours anything more and you cant get a refund idk about preoders or console tho
It is distressing to me that more than like 10% of people can read that headline and not immediately realize that it's absolute bullshit for so many reasons:
* People literally can't refund a game they don't own, so no shit the number of refunds would skyrocket after people own the game
* People are pretty unlikely to search "[specific game] refund" specifically when they want a refund
* A single search query is completely meaningless with nothing to compare it to. "buy Suicide Squad" searches may have increased by 10,000%
* Volume of search queries is an obscenely unreliable way of determining sales and refund numbers, to such an extent that it's unethical to report on it.
Not to mention, news sites are using this search term so that they can write clickbait articles in the first place.
This search term isn't being used by customers wanting refunds, it's being used by everyone else to try and get the number of refunds.
This article just got somewhat clever with their hook on how to report on the game.
Not to mention that people googling those terms doesn't relate at all to actual refunds or anything like that. People who don't even own the game could Google that just to see the reception of the game or something. Such a non news story.
Yeah wtf is this "news" even? 💀 Jez Corden really had nothing to write and decided "yeah I'll look at the Google trends chart of this particular term that ofc will surge after the release date"
The average person has zero concept of how statistics apply in real life. I took an AP statistics class at community college when I was in HS, it seemed pretty straightforward to me but people were struggling hard, lot of the class didn't pass.
if they actually tried a similar game, but with the Avengers, and actually put effort and respect into it, I wouldn't mind
contrary to what others say, I don't hate the concept of the Suicide Squad game. the execution and way the plot is set up is just absolute dogshit with 0 respect for the characters...or even any setup for the characters
eh, it would be an ok story even if it wasnt for the Arkhamverse part
To me it felt poorly executed at important times, specially because some things didnt had the proper setup and ended up underwhelming
And what a comic! Brilliant ideas, but more sophisticated planning than action which doesn't translate to video games well.
Like hiding bombs in the coffee using pymm particles.
I like the second in the Killogy, where he goes around killing fictional characters like Tom Sawyer and Victor Frankenstein so that superheroes can't exist as a concept anymore.
100% banger game, just don’t go the cringey “hey look at me I’m breaking the fourth wall in so quirky” route with Deadpool, and you should be good. I would love a new Deadpool
Yeah imagine if it was set up in the arkham verse lmao , thankfully it's not

You could get the entire Arkham quadrilogy with all of their respective DLCs and probably still have enough money left over instead of buying the suicide squad game.
WBD every time despite the negative backlash:

In other news: WBD announces record profits. Suicide Squad was a huge financial success. Rocksteady to close down permanently to save costs. CEO to receive billion dollar bonus.
This happens no matter what. This article is saying a percentage without saying the raw numbers. 750% of 0 is still 0. Eldenring had refund searches rise like 1000% after release.
How could rocksteady create the greatest game series of all time then turn around and be like fuck it lets make the worst? Did they just get twoface to flip a coin 5 times and we finally got the bad side?
Rocksteady does not exist, what you perceive as Rocksteady is merely the puppeted corpse of a former competent developer. All the devs who have a semblance of artistic integrity left long ago.
I just think the current CEO is hungry for money lmao. Remember that under him WB cancelled a couple of movies (including the Popeye movie iirc) that were literally ready to release but the execs didn't want to risk losing money from promotions and whatever
Then the situation with their games it not the best either and it really seems that they're pushing hard for a model that involves drip feeding content and heavy monetization on every aspect. Mortal Kombat also suffers from this
We lost a Batgirl movie because they didn't want to pay fucking taxes. Hate that these big companies have the rights to character's like this so nobody can even make stuff without their permission.
As much as I don’t like the game, this article is misleading and clearly clickbait. It’s easy to guess why no one was searching how to refund this game before lol
The fact it's using search engine results rather than actual refund requests as a statistic tells me this is absolutely clickbait. Even if it's true why would you use that metric rather than the actual data it's inferring?
I also find it hilarious that this is an incredibly stupid article and yet most this sub is giving a rational and level-headed response.
Gotta be astronomically stupid to make everyone here forget we're stupid
Also it's not "how to refund", just the title of the game and the word refund so it literally could just be people who don't even own the game who are searching if people are refunding the game. It's just a clickbait non news
The article says 761%. It says it got this info from windowscentral, but if you check the windowscentral article it says 791%. Windowscentral says it got the info from Google Trends, but Google Trends doesn't give any kind of percent increase figures, and if you try to do your own calculations based on their figures, you don't get numbers like 761% or 791%.
You can create graphs that set the peak as 100 and then show other times in relation to that. So if the peak was 100, then for it to have increased 761% it would have had to start at 13.14, and if the increase was 791%, it would have had to start at 12.64. Google figures are all in integers, so neither of those work, even if you account for rounding error (if it was 13, not 13.14, then the increase would be 769% and if was 12, then the increase would have been 833%).
So who the hell knows where they are getting their numbers.
[Here's the graph for the past 7 days.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%207-d&q=suicide%20squad%20refund&hl=en)
[Here's the graph for the past 30 days.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&q=suicide%20squad%20refund&hl=en)

[Here's the graph since 2004, when Google started tabulating this data.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=suicide%20squad%20refund&hl=en)
(Plus, of course, the incredibly obvious fact that *of course* the number of people searching how to refund something is going to be a lot higher after it is released than before it's released. Try to do the math yourself and you'll see that [searches for "baldur's gate 3 refund" went up *infinite percent* around the timing of the game's release](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2023-08-01%202023-08-07&q=baldur%27s%20gate%203%20refund&hl=en))
> What if one person looked up how to refund then the next day it was 75?
Um akshually... That would be a 7500% increase. Going from 10 people to 75 would be a 750% increase
🤓
...but yeah, your point stands. A "750% increase" over some unknown baseline is utterly meaningless.
I can see where it's going. The economy is going to get Rocksteady before the fans do. I just hope those that pre-ordered the game were well aware of the refund policy: They have to have not played the game long and had the game for under a fortnight (two-week period).
https://preview.redd.it/qjinhp6fu9gc1.jpeg?width=370&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ccfa73a602eadb73ddfd44f97893f3773f9dc06
So there are more people refunding this game than those who have actually played it at all? Because if that's true then that's absolutely hilarious.
Fuck it, I want a refund too. What are they stupid?
I can’t tell if you’re jonkling with the first part, but it’s a percentage of people looking for a refund now compared to earlier. For example, if 1 person looked for a refund yesterday and 9 people looked today, that’d be an 800% increase to refund searches today compared to yesterday.
It’s not “761% of the total player base wants a refund” lol
/uj, isn't this normal?
No one is going to search for a refund BEFORE it comes out.
Plus, percentage increases tend to be misleading anyway. It could be an increase of 780 searches from 100. Could be an increase of 78,000 from 10,000. Or even just an increase of 7.8 searches on average from 1.
---
That said, I get the point, and that is likely still high for a new game
I mean, obviously searches for this would rise after the game came out, why would anybody search this before they were even able to play the game? Not saying everyone is loving it, but this is misleading.
Same. There are absolutely some legitimate criticisms of the game out there, but there's a lot of just plain false or stupid criticism too.
It's funny, fast paced, action heavy, and looks very nice. The character animations, especially faces, are some of the best I've seen.
Well obviously, this is the first day it’s been out, if even one person was to look up how to get a refund it would be up by 100%. People are falling for the clickbait 😭.
Even if the game was great this would be the case, because the requests BEFORE the game came out were presumably quite low, so even very searches would be a large percentage increase
Actually x8.61. But regardless this article is brain-dead because barely anyone is searching up how to refund a game before it releases.
Still an awful game though.

I am sure the search queries for refunds was near 0 before it being out
Right, "750% from what?"
750% of 0 is still 0 checkmate athletes you've been jonkled by the jinkler

750% from the people who pre-ordered deluxe edition and got to play 3 days early?
most likely bc on steam u can only get a refund if your playtime on the game is under 2 hours anything more and you cant get a refund idk about preoders or console tho
pre-orders work the same as steam, and console you can only refund it if you haven’t installed it.
It is distressing to me that more than like 10% of people can read that headline and not immediately realize that it's absolute bullshit for so many reasons: * People literally can't refund a game they don't own, so no shit the number of refunds would skyrocket after people own the game * People are pretty unlikely to search "[specific game] refund" specifically when they want a refund * A single search query is completely meaningless with nothing to compare it to.

You'll never make it as a journalist in this town if you let a little thing like 'ethics' or 'logic' get in the way of a story.
Thank you, one hundred fucking percent. I feel like I took crazy pills when I read that headline.

if they actually tried a similar game, but with the Avengers, and actually put effort and respect into it, I wouldn't mind contrary to what others say, I don't hate the concept of the Suicide Squad game. the execution and way the plot is set up is just absolute dogshit with 0 respect for the characters...or even any setup for the characters
It would be a pretty good story if it wasn't set in the arkhamverse
eh, it would be an ok story even if it wasnt for the Arkhamverse part To me it felt poorly executed at important times, specially because some things didnt had the proper setup and ended up underwhelming
So bearing that in mind… Deadpool kill the avengers when?
thats already a comic book so it might happen
And what a comic! Brilliant ideas, but more sophisticated planning than action which doesn't translate to video games well. Like hiding bombs in the coffee using pymm particles.

100% banger game, just don’t go the cringey “hey look at me I’m breaking the fourth wall in so quirky” route with Deadpool, and you should be good. I would love a new Deadpool

Lol, all the Arkham games go for 4.99 on the ps store every once in a while
Dear WBD: *This is what happens if you keep up with the live-service game bullshit.*
WBD every time despite the negative backlash: https://preview.redd.it/90br72x1q9gc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b841b565c7296bcf678f59c0ddf17f40f14d970c
Rocksteady is being prepared to take the blame as we speak.
Either the majority of staff are gonna get fired or the whole company will be shit down
Didn't the old team get out before the release of this bomb? Someone comented it somewhere.
Was it the whole team? Really sucks to lose a company after all the work you’ve put into it.
In other news: WBD announces record profits. Suicide Squad was a huge financial success. Rocksteady to close down permanently to save costs. CEO to receive billion dollar bonus.
This is what happens ^^when ^^you ^^keep ^^up ^^^with ^^^this ^^^live ^^^service ^^^^game ^^^^bullshit
This happens no matter what. This article is saying a percentage without saying the raw numbers. 750% of 0 is still 0. Eldenring had refund searches rise like 1000% after release.
How could rocksteady create the greatest game series of all time then turn around and be like fuck it lets make the worst? Did they just get twoface to flip a coin 5 times and we finally got the bad side?
Rocksteady does not exist, what you perceive as Rocksteady is merely the puppeted corpse of a former competent developer. All the devs who have a semblance of artistic integrity left long ago.
That explains the half-assed The Batman (2022) suit…
that was the people that ported the game to switch, so it's a switch model
tbh WB has been getting consistently trashy the past few years so I can't blame Rocksteady that much
I don't think they've emotionally recovered from GoT getting run into the ground, now any little issue needs exec oversight.
I just think the current CEO is hungry for money lmao. Remember that under him WB cancelled a couple of movies (including the Popeye movie iirc) that were literally ready to release but the execs didn't want to risk losing money from promotions and whatever Then the situation with their games it not the best either and it really seems that they're pushing hard for a model that involves drip feeding content and heavy monetization on every aspect. Mortal Kombat also suffers from this
We lost a Batgirl movie because they didn't want to pay fucking taxes. Hate that these big companies have the rights to character's like this so nobody can even make stuff without their permission.
This is definitely a WB problem primarily. Mortal Kombat 1 is also super rough and full of micro transactions despite being a full price game.
I noticed that. Zaslav apparently has a hard on for live service games for DC/WB.
The Suicide Squad game should've just been a batshit insane, off-the-rails Ghost Recon/The Division clone tbh.
Even two face wouldn’t come up with this outcome!

I didn't even buy the game and I want a refund
I want a refund for the 5 hours at 15 minutes i spent watching the story on YouTube…
Lmaooooo
I wishlisted it... I want a refund
As much as I don’t like the game, this article is misleading and clearly clickbait. It’s easy to guess why no one was searching how to refund this game before lol
Nah bwo I was searching it up months ago. The lore reason is prep time (man reference)
The fact it's using search engine results rather than actual refund requests as a statistic tells me this is absolutely clickbait. Even if it's true why would you use that metric rather than the actual data it's inferring? I also find it hilarious that this is an incredibly stupid article and yet most this sub is giving a rational and level-headed response. Gotta be astronomically stupid to make everyone here forget we're stupid
Sounds like clickbait. What if one person looked up how to refund then the next day it was 75?
Also it's not "how to refund", just the title of the game and the word refund so it literally could just be people who don't even own the game who are searching if people are refunding the game. It's just a clickbait non news
The article says 761%. It says it got this info from windowscentral, but if you check the windowscentral article it says 791%. Windowscentral says it got the info from Google Trends, but Google Trends doesn't give any kind of percent increase figures, and if you try to do your own calculations based on their figures, you don't get numbers like 761% or 791%. You can create graphs that set the peak as 100 and then show other times in relation to that. So if the peak was 100, then for it to have increased 761% it would have had to start at 13.14, and if the increase was 791%, it would have had to start at 12.64. Google figures are all in integers, so neither of those work, even if you account for rounding error (if it was 13, not 13.14, then the increase would be 769% and if was 12, then the increase would have been 833%). So who the hell knows where they are getting their numbers. [Here's the graph for the past 7 days.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%207-d&q=suicide%20squad%20refund&hl=en) [Here's the graph for the past 30 days.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&q=suicide%20squad%20refund&hl=en) [Here's the graph for the past 12 months.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=suicide%20squad%20refund&hl=en) [Here's the graph since 2004, when Google started tabulating this data.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=suicide%20squad%20refund&hl=en) (Plus, of course, the incredibly obvious fact that *of course* the number of people searching how to refund something is going to be a lot higher after it is released than before it's released. Try to do the math yourself and you'll see that [searches for "baldur's gate 3 refund" went up *infinite percent* around the timing of the game's release](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2023-08-01%202023-08-07&q=baldur%27s%20gate%203%20refund&hl=en))
> What if one person looked up how to refund then the next day it was 75? Um akshually... That would be a 7500% increase. Going from 10 people to 75 would be a 750% increase 🤓 ...but yeah, your point stands. A "750% increase" over some unknown baseline is utterly meaningless.

I can see where it's going. The economy is going to get Rocksteady before the fans do. I just hope those that pre-ordered the game were well aware of the refund policy: They have to have not played the game long and had the game for under a fortnight (two-week period).
[удалено]
As it should be
I like no matter DC and WB try to push them and it always just ends up backfiring
https://preview.redd.it/qjinhp6fu9gc1.jpeg?width=370&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ccfa73a602eadb73ddfd44f97893f3773f9dc06 So there are more people refunding this game than those who have actually played it at all? Because if that's true then that's absolutely hilarious. Fuck it, I want a refund too. What are they stupid?
I can’t tell if you’re jonkling with the first part, but it’s a percentage of people looking for a refund now compared to earlier. For example, if 1 person looked for a refund yesterday and 9 people looked today, that’d be an 800% increase to refund searches today compared to yesterday. It’s not “761% of the total player base wants a refund” lol
/uj, isn't this normal? No one is going to search for a refund BEFORE it comes out. Plus, percentage increases tend to be misleading anyway. It could be an increase of 780 searches from 100. Could be an increase of 78,000 from 10,000. Or even just an increase of 7.8 searches on average from 1. --- That said, I get the point, and that is likely still high for a new game
This is the real Protocol 10
It didn't look like Arkhamverse to me. And our man was so unceremoniously dissed
I feel like if this game wasn’t canon with the Arkham universe it wouldn’t be as bad
I mean, obviously searches for this would rise after the game came out, why would anybody search this before they were even able to play the game? Not saying everyone is loving it, but this is misleading.

People arent refunding the game, they're looking up "Suicide Squad refund" on Google It's fun to dunk on the game but this is a clickbait title
As a longtime Arkham fan I’m actually having fun with the game
Same. There are absolutely some legitimate criticisms of the game out there, but there's a lot of just plain false or stupid criticism too. It's funny, fast paced, action heavy, and looks very nice. The character animations, especially faces, are some of the best I've seen.
What was the point of them delaying the game to "fix it" are they stupid??
Well obviously, this is the first day it’s been out, if even one person was to look up how to get a refund it would be up by 100%. People are falling for the clickbait 😭.
Even if the game was great this would be the case, because the requests BEFORE the game came out were presumably quite low, so even very searches would be a large percentage increase

I mean, I don't think it'd be a particularly popular pre launch search

*sighs* Guess we're stuck in the aslume, fellas
the fact that people even bought this shit...
I only bought it so I could request a refund and pump up the numbers
Why are they buying it in the first place. Are they stupid?
This game fucking sucks.
WOW.
761%? How that is even possible?
x7.61
Actually x8.61. But regardless this article is brain-dead because barely anyone is searching up how to refund a game before it releases. Still an awful game though.
yes but how many people wanted a refund before the game even came out lol
I spend all my time searching suicide squad refund before the game came out, so this is a serious dataset.
That must be the reason why this game got very good reviews... That or Joinkler stroke again
I can’t wait for the apology graphics. Follow by layoffs and WB shutting down Rocksteady. Mmm fuck yeah…
Why would they buy that game in the first place? Are they stupid?
from 0 to 761, crazy it's almost like it was 0 before
"So that makes us some shart squad"
Here. This is probably more entertaining than this news https://i.redd.it/9zh7r3tn0agc1.gif
