WB Games up for sale (again)

[Gizmo_Duck]

This time with the conditions of licensing it’s IP.



Seems kinda wack that NetherRealm is gonna end up having to licenese an IP it created

I'd actually be interested in seeing NRS try an original fighting game with a new engine.

I’d like to see Rocksteady literally do anything else but a batman/superhero game

 

[Rekkapryde]

So the same shyt as before.



The DC IP is more valuable than the studios

fukk a license, exclusive rights needs to be part of the deal for a certain number of years with certain caveats

Idk i feel like those are some talented studios, i dont think the IP is that important tbh.

 

[Rice N Beans]

I always drive by Midway/NetherRealm and I can't imagine ANOTHER move for these guys. The instability since the coin-op era is crazy.

?? MK isnt original?

 

[Saint1]

That's wild WB is for sale, they really had a quality production line.
Games were fun and the graphics were really on point.
Batman was great.
The Shadow of Mordor series was fun albeit repetitive.
Im just speculating on this last one but I think MK11's campaign benefitted from WB probably due to their resources of screenwriting.
Is WB the new Harry Potter?

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Selling the studios but retaining the IPs and leasing them out? I don't see companies like Tencent or NetEase going for a deal like that.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Between 2009 to 2015, WB put out Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, and Arkham Knight. Plus Blackgate in 2013. Seven years later and shyt still getting pushed back. They need new management.

Suits ruining shyt as always

 

[Fillerguy]

Does this mean the nemesis system is up for sale?

Warner-discovery owns it

proprietary tech would be part of the negotiations and evaluation

 

[ORDER_66]

Ain't no one biting they still haven't learned

naw idk those dc/potter/matrix/mk /lego whatever licenses are expensive. If they package some exclusivity into the deal that would be a very lucrative deal for someone to jump on

It’s like cdpr having rights to Witcher. Someone having the exclusive game rights to any of those franchises is a big deal
