Uh oh, Suicide Squad’s Steam launch numbers are less than half of the ill-fated Marvel’s Avengers' Both games feature live service elements that not many players want. Image credit:VG247/Warner Bros. Games For one, there’s the simple difference in brand recognition. Sure, the Suicide Squad is popular these days thanks to the DC films, but it still isn’t at Avengers-level popularity.

What are you playing this weekend? Games without frontiers. Image credit:Supergiant Games With the weekend comes time to do what we like. Okay, sometimes there are things we have to do, but it’s mainly a break from responsibilities and the doldrums that made up the week.
