Well, formerWarner BrosGames exec Laura Fryer recently explained as such in a recent YouTube video of hers.

This meant Rocksteady, and subsequently Warner Bros., weren’t getting as much money as they’d like.

“They were only getting paid for the first copy sold,” Fryer explained.

Talion is clashing blades with an Uruk, both of them staring at each other intently in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

“They lost millions of dollars.”

So, they needed a hook.

What a load of rubbish, if you ask me.
