This is the best summary I could come up with:
Developed by the legendary studio Rocksteady, known for the Batman Arkham games, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launched in early access this week.
Later on, IGN and other major press outlets previewed the game, with a near unanimous negative tone, which is rare to see occur so broadly.
It's worth noting that Windows Central was also not offered review codes, but it's not entirely unexpected with a live service game.
To gain early access, you need the Suicide Squad: To Kill the Justice League Deluxe Edition, which costs an absurd $100.
You might expect that searches for "refund" wouldn't exist before the game had launched anyway, but the spike seems to have been triggered specifically by its 100% completion bug.
This is a bad time for games to struggle commercially, as various firms look to cost cutting measures faced with a squeeze on capital and operating margins.
