WB Games up for sale (again)

They're running into the same exact problem when they tried to sell WB Games last time, those companies want not only the studios, but the IPs as well. It's one thing like the DC Entertainment and the WB license, but if you're selling a company like NetherRealm Studios, any company that have interest in them wants the Mortal Kombat IP, not access to the license which won't make sense in the long run. I can see some companies being sold, not NetherRealm.

I don’t think theres any situation where some companies are sold and some aren’t. They would eventually shut them down before keeping them operational. Discovery don’t want a games division, period.

They’d probably shut them down if worst came to worst

WB should def go under MS's umbrella

The IPs mean more

Lego, DC, Harry Potter

And they not giving that up.

You buy Rocksteady but then have to cut another check to license DC characters

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

fukk a fighting game they need to drop that Shaolin Monks remaster or whatever they was teasing a couple years back
