Netflix just bought WB and separate them from Discovery as well their cable networks. There only mentioned that Netflix getting WB film and TV studios and HBO Max but didn't mention WB Games. Are they forgot that WB Games?
>Are they forgotPoint and laugh at OP
>>727594476I asssume someone else will buy Wb Games, so Microsoft, Tencent or Saudis
>>727594476And just like, movie theaters and the Blu-Ray industry died for good.
>>727594476Suicide Squad 2 by Rocksteady
WARNER BROS... IT'S OVER.
>>727594476
>>727594669
>>727594476aew now in the mud kek
>>727594476Fuck off esl
Monolith is dead so the only part of WB that I cared for doesn't exist anymore.
>>727594476>Acquisition Will Strengthen the Entertainment IndustryA cultist mantra if I ever heard one.
>>727594884Kek
>>727594476Why should I care.Name 3 good games they made in the last 10m years
>>727594476I always wonder with these fuckhuge acquisitions how they intend to make back all that money. Wasn't WB bleeding money?
>>727594476And so it begins.Years ago I predicted that every single major studio was going to fall and be bought up by tech companies. The end game is like 5 tech companies runnign the world and ALL media.
This means WB will kill Netflix and then get sold again in like 10 years.
>>727595398Always knew it would somehow end up being Still Tony.
>>727595769it's funny cause the fox acquisition led to a pretty drastic decrease in movies being produced
>this continues on being a licensing clusterfuck as a new player enters the picture.
>>727595398KWAB
>>727596350Remember that there are still are dozens if not hundreds of WB - EA licensed games that are stuck in abandonware purgatory.Not that I mind, cuz this just means those games are free.
>>727596162yes and no, they've had several of the biggest movies of the year but they are also like 20bil in debtthen again netflix is also massively in debt and only somewhat recently started to actually make money after slowly but surely fucking their custumers harder and harder in the ass
>>727596315And on the /v/ side Microsoft's acquisitions have kinda just shit things up for everyone
>>727596548abandonware is not an actual legal concept, you're just pirating games. i don't get the obsession.
>>727596565Warner to my knowledge has gone through so many different different acquisitions throughout this decade. Every time it passed their internal debt over to the next owner.My guess is that people buy WB for it's IP holdings and milk it for a period and pass it on to the next. people have been hand-balling the company's debt through each merge/acquisition due to the insane debt WB has.
>>727594884Warner Brosbros…
>>727596723as long as I have no option to buy those games, the threat of piracy is meaningless to these suits.
this is actually pretty awful news, they will kill hbo max which means one less competitor and they will own more anime and popular ips to pozz the fuck out ofalso they are slowly getting into gaming
>>727594884warner bros was a disgusting company, now being bought by another disgusting company, what does that make it
jews buying out other jewswow mind blowing
Vecna will be in the next Mortal Kombat
>>727594476What does this mean for the Looney Tunes?
>>727596824WB is just as bad.
>>727597047not anywhere near as bad as netflix, and i don't want netlix in gaming or even more in anime, this will also lead to less movies and less quality in general
TT games, Avalanche Software, and NetherRealm are too valuable for them to sell or dismantle. WB games Montreal and Rocksteady are in real danger unless their new projects are convincing enough for them to stick around. Netflix gaming is really funny, all they've done so far is indie and mobile crap. Last year they shut down Team Blue with Joseph Staten, and a few days ago they sold a studio back to it's original founders.
I thought Netflix was unprofitable and losing money. How are they able to buy WB?
>>727597279infinite jew money trick
>>727597186In this case it's because the last guy who bought them out was actively throwing projects into the furnace so he could claim losses and get what he borrowed to buy them back more quickly.It's a fucked-up sentence but it's a fucked-up situation.
>>727597263why is it so hard for these giant corporations to get into gaming? They stumble so fucking hard.Just get like 5 people to make some game in unity or some shit. There are thousands of indies doing exactly this with no funding.
They will keep them like now or just loan the IPs to different developers.
>>727597279They aren't unprofitable. Their stock crashed from bad press stuff. But it was probably an orchestrated rugged pull and recovery to make a few people rich.
Why is warner even selling? Did the warner jews just get bored of running the company?
>>727596824Netflix isn't as bad as crunchy roll when it comes to animeThey don't censor as much
>>727596723Yeah. Go fuck yourself Goldberg. You're not even selling it. You are so terrified of exposing that you don't even own it like when people found out WB music never owned the Happy Birthday song. You legally do not want my money. Cry about it.
>>727597504Panjeets monkey vibecoders, tranny artists, and white women managers
>>727594884good one
>>727594476Why did WB sale instead of creating value for themselves?
>>727594476FTC will cockblock that one, the retards fell for what they wanted.If you wanted to learn how Netflix launders hollywood money, you will learn next year
>warner gets bought by netflix>ea gets boughts saudisi can't think of another case of so many games being stuck in purgatory.
>>727598339Crunchu just licenses and translates, Netflix yes it has every other blue moon a decently neutral production but most of the time they make washed up shit like DMC or neutered adaptations like Devilman Crybaby.
>>727596704Microsoft acquisition haven't affected me in the slightest, literally none of its acquisitions are developers I pay to play, Microsoft and all its studios could go under tomorrow and I wouldn't be affected.
>>727598060Superman movie was dogshit and a flop, James Gunn killed WB
>>727598545WB is amazing in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Look at Hogwarts Legacy, the most profitable game of last year, yet they scrapped any further woks on DLC or add-ons for it. Or how they managed Rocksteady, their golden goose that now makes turds like suicide squad.Same shit with movies, they expect some instant billion dollar return from any movie and throw everything away that doesn't reach it, not understanding that shit like cinematic universes need time and preparation, they want their Endgame-tier movie now or whoever works is fired.
>Netflix logo at every gaming event.
>>727598591FTC won't block shit since they allowed Saudis pocket EA without much hassle
Those Paramount zionazi jews really wanted WB so Netflix buying it is a win in my book
>>727598929because the saudis are pro trumpNetflix is part of the people and the dem part who are against him.>>727598968>le joolsparamount would literally fire jim lee and clean all of DC comics and WB into executive level, No more tom king and his mother ruling the company
>>727594476>Atari S.A is getting the rights to the post-1984 Atari library, the Midway library (including Mortal Kombat) and the Williams library.>Sega is getting Travelers Tales and the Lego license.>Whatever Disney/Pixar licenses WB Games had will be transferred to THQ Nordic.>Microsoft is getting everything else.
>>727594816They're still making Blu-Rays.https://theextras.buzzsprout.com/1781599/episodes/18287078-tom-and-jerry-the-golden-era-anthology-release-podcast

>>727599034>saudis are pro trump>he doesn't know
>>727599123>Netflix is currently ruining Ranma 1/2No thats China, Netflix is only streaming it.
>ubisoft owned by the chinese>EA owned by saudis>warner bros now in the hands of a company that doesn't give a single shit about videogames>microsoft all in on AI instead of videogames and are most likely gonna kill more of their owned dev teamsthe absolute state of AAA gaming
>>727599171As of now, no one wants china and russia controling the world.Also people are too cowards to blow the entire three gorges dam and its child dams
Looking through WB games list I mostly see LOTR and DC shitDo they still own the FEAR IP?Should we expect Netflix to make a FEAR show?
>>727599269Unironically, Asians are the only ones making games these days
>>727599429WB added Blood to the catalogue now
>>727599269>Ubisoft>EA>WB>Microsoft(ActivBlizz)
>>727599443Millions of cheap soulslike knock-offs, crafting survival slop, grindfest mmos, shitty mobas and mobile trash are not real videogames, kill yourself troon
>>727599778Still better than (((western))) games thoughever
>>727595398WB don't own AEW. It's not like Turner and WCW.
>>727594476Black Kung Lao
>no mention made of game studios in announcementI'd be worried if I worked there.
>>727600231not a matter of owning them
>>727600453if you still worked in one of WB's game studios then lol
>>727596548Don't forget practically the entire Midway catalog that's not Mortal Kombat and it's only available thanks to emulation because WB doesn't know how to handle BC.
>>727594476warner homos
>>727597504>why is it so hard for these giant corporations to get into gaming?Because most of the executive are boomers that doesn't know shit about video games
Mmm, yes- consolidate all the garbage!
>>727598060IIIRC Warner discovery was bleeding money for years and couldnt sustain itself.
>>727599556Definitely not a coincidence, huh...
>merged with AOL then separated>merged with AT&T then separated>merged with Discovery then separated again Why WB such a whore?
>>727596350You can literally make identical game with a different name... Nobody wants more le funny hehe 60's throwbacks, simple as
Does Netflix care about videogames, comics or cinemas?
>>727597504Big corporations want big profits they don't care about anything other than maximize their investment.Modern games (not only AAA) require around 3-4 years (if everything goes well) and that's too long to give them just a moderate budget they might as well give them AAA money and a huge marketing campaign to make as much as they can.And that's where they end up failing and realize they can get better returns in other businesses.
>>727601696They have their own video game studios but they make mobile games.
>>727601564Tom King's mother is one
>>727597032put up on netflix and then cancelled a few weeks later i'd imagine.
>>727594476Huh, wasn't netflix going down a cliff? How did they get 80 billion for this
Can they make Mortal Kombat even more woke than it already is?
>>727594476it's deader than dead. you cant have one without the other>>727599443>Chinese and Koreans WHEN they arent making coomer gacha #5946410548the japanese have already been compromised, Dragonquest 3 demake's director confirmed it
>>727596162Loans.They take out huge loans that will never get paid back in fullI know jack shit about economics but this can not be healthy and somehow I'm sure the burden is passed down to us
Why didn't Nintendo buy WB? Aren't they making movies now?
>>727594476>Batman will be gay, Joker will be non-binary and Gordon will be the real villain>Superman will be mexican>Wonder Woman will be the center of everything DC>Bugs Bunny and friends will be scrubbed off and cleaned up into completely unfinny versions>Every Harry Potter thing will be canceled because JK Rowling>new Scooby-doo shit will be all like the awful Velma show
>>727602324Nintendo would be better off waiting to buy Disney so they can indoctrinate every kid on the planet forever.
>>727598642>>727599269These companies haven't made a single good game circa 2007. They die out? Good. At least this way the names are tarnished anymore and we don't get another WoW case where EoS would be a mercy kill.Its better this way.
>>727594476WE WON SUICIDE SISTERS A CORPORATION BOUGHT US THAT MEANS WE WON THAT'S HOW IT WORKS
>>727594476Fuck is Netflix planning? Why did they do it? Doesn't Netflix have enough original series to stay afloat?
>>727594476>Gets raped by AOT>Gets raped by AT&T>Gets raped by Discovery>It's gonna get raped by NetflixI'm more surprised that this company still alive after all this shit
>>727601938They have the mobile port of RDR too
>>727603001*AOL
>>727598853Not quite a flop, but it didn't pass the 700 million mark it estimately needed to be considered a success.

>>727594476it's crazy how much wokism killed solid companies
82 billion dollars spent on a bunch of intellectual properties. Just think the magnitude of that number for a second.
>>727598060A long history of bad business decisions.>Warner announces it's going to merge with AOL>A month later the dot-com bubble bursts>Stock value goes down the toilet overnight, posts the biggest loss in history>Start selling off various subsidiaries they've acquired over the years to try and reduce their debt>Works for a bit but not enough>Get bought out by AT&T because they wanna be the next Comcast>AT&T realizes just how fucked Warner is, tries to re-organize it so they stop bleeding money>Doesn't work, AT&T decides it's not worth the effort anymore, sells them off to Discovery while saddling them with all the debt they incurred from the acquisition to begin with>Now they have even more debt and even more retarded executives than before>Death spiral continuesI can only imagine Netflix is funding the acquisition with future revenue they expect to magically appear from AI, then when the AI bubble bursts throw all the debt onto Warner again and then make them somebody else's problem just like AT&T did.
>>727603742>82 billion dollars spent to thoroughly RAPE a bunch of intellectual properties and it's legaciesftfyit's a sad day for capefags
>>727594476>netflix buying WB instead of the other time aroundmakes me feel old, is netflix really THAT big?
>>727597032Bugs and Daffy will now be confirmed gay
>>727595715Sneed uol
>>727603565That and also movie studios following the similar path to video game studios with it high production costs on every projects
>>727598339They made Jojo part 6 into a batch release and it suffered greatly from it. I hope SBR isn’t like that though and netflix learned.
>>727604396No, David Pro did that on it's own meters.
>>727603935Netflix is worth half a trillion anon, and WB has been raped non-stop for 2 decades
>>727594476at&t ruined warner
>>727594476Not if Larry Ellison can help it, he's gonna cry to Trump to block this so WB goes to Paramount
>>727598060That was always the plan. Dave Zaslav coming in and gutting the seemingly useless parts of the company and making a superhero universe that might succeed were part of a plan to make the company attractive to buyers.
>>727594476warner bros games is under warner bros so netflix gets themguess this means there will be some of their games added to netflix mobile but I don't really use it outside of sonic prime dash
>>727594476Can they make MK worse somehow? Probably.
>>727594476Maybe the game division will have people that care now...maybe...surely...

>>727605087I still can't believe this actually happened.

>>727605087>TAKE HIS DAMN RAGS OFF
>>727605447netflix is really trying to get into mobile gaming so they probably remembered
>>727605569What mobile games do they make?

Bro how does netflix have money? Like who the fuck watches netflix? Whenever im at my parents and browse through the library i see nothing but unorganized trash. Not even cool b movie stuff but literal dogshit that bombed so bad you can buy the license for pennies. There is no way anyone watches these d-tier movies.How do they have 80 billion?
>>727605638https://help.netflix.com/en/node/121442quite a few actually, a lot of ports and normal mobiles games with their microtransactions stripped but there's original shit in there like games based off their shows
>>727605837Thanks for the answer, but I was asking what mobile games WB makes.>>727605723Shadows of Mordor. I wonder what's going to happen to the Nemesis system patent now. Hopefully it'll go to Netflix and they won't sit on it for another decade.
>>727605774>watchesthey don't make money from people watching, they make money from people subscribingif your parents have it, they're paying for it
>>727606125How many subscriptions do you need to accumulate 80 billion?Fucking clown world.
>>727605974>but I was asking what mobile games WB makes.I was more so thinking they'd just look into the backlog and port shit to mobile to throw on the service, I don't know if or what mobile games WB's made
>>727597504they don't care about video games. they just want moneythey have no drive or passion. just make hollyjew movieshit and sell a gorillion ticket- I mean copiesin their eyes, players are just bags of money that must open whenever there's a new release
How does Netflix keep getting away with it?what happened to all that outrage and people boycotting Netflix because they kept showing shows about slutty lolis, lesbian lolis, and trans lolis?Hell, even Elon Musk had a call to arms and encouraged everyone to boycott Netflix.And yet here we are, Netflix is stronger than ever and buying out the competition.was this all a sham? are you niggers not voting with your wallet?
>>727605774>How do they have 80 billion?that's the neat part, they don't
>>727602562disney is unccore
>>727602739the problem is that thanks to (((copyright law))) any games you've played aren't entering the public domain until you're logn dead
>>727605536kek
>>727606385Turns out everyone else secretly likes lolis
>>727606414and you have walt disney's ass and sonny bono to thank for thatyou should be glad sonny hit that tree
I don't know shit about economics but whenever I read headlines about billion dollar acquisitions this is the first thing I think of.
>>727594476Nobody is talking how all the corpos are starting to converge and being eaten into just a few monopolizing ones.
>>727606708Bono was assassinated so that law could passThat tree was planted
they got shafted a while ago
>>727606795Literally everyone is talking about it, tard
>>727598060The discovery merger made them bleed money out of a prolapsed asshole.
>>727602508>>Bugs Bunny and friends will beturned into nggers because animals take the spot from pushing nggerdom>>will be scrubbed off and cleaned up into completely unfinny versionsthat's already happening though: no guns, no suicide jokes (e.g. jumping off a bridge after realizing your nurse is a hairy big fat lardwhale), no "dangerous imitable acts" like throwing dishes and getting nailed by the ironing board, no axe or guillotine chopping gags, etc.>>727605087>Joker was assrapedheinous fanfiction made out of spite spite to get back at the poor souls that sympathized with his plight. simply despicable
>>727594476all these purchases do is continue to make me wonder wtf the FTC was doing with Microsoft and why their purchase of Activision was so scrutinized when shit like this will only make a headline or two and absolutely no action will be taken.
>>727606125>they don't make money from people watching, they make money from people subscribinguh sweaty, they have ads. if you aren't watching, they're earning less off you>>727606385>How does Netflix keep getting away with it?momentum. they're desperately trying to claw their way into relevance by spending the millions they've saved up in the last few yearsthe better question is why they can't put out something decent and instead continue to double down on pozzed up sjw garbage, cultural marxism, racemixing propaganda, etc.
>>727594476>movie a tv company buys movie and TV company arm of another company>B-B-BUTBWAT ABUOT TEH VIDOE GAMS?!?!?
>>727598060DCU clusterfuck and the American animation industry being retarded and dead.
>>727607020I thought Zaslav cut everything but the C-Suite and HR so they're spending almost no money.
>>727607093>that's already happening though: no guns, no suicide jokes (e.g. jumping off a bridge after realizing your nurse is a hairy big fat lardwhale), no "dangerous imitable acts" like throwing dishes and getting nailed by the ironing board, no axe or guillotine chopping gags, etc.Wait, so then what's left? Bugs Bunny crossdressing? Or is that harmful too?
>>727607282talking about the video games on the video games board? preposterous indeed
>>727606385>what happened to all that outrage and people boycotting Netflix because they kept showing shows about slutty lolis, lesbian lolis, and trans lolis?which shows are that so that I can start boycotting them?
>>727607691Talking about video games is against board culture.
>>727594476I thought Netflix was bleeding money?
>>727606793Most big companies are just laundering machines.Everyone who still thinks he votes with his wallet is a retard. Concord for example was even horrid on paper, but it still got funding, MILLIONS of dollars went into its development when even not during beta but in house testing I can guarantee you it was a failure.This is like taking out a loan, to pay off your already existing one, and you do it multiple times, because ultimately the lower and middle class is the who pays for it with taxes. If you show on paper that you did something no one is going to breathe on your neck, as worst case you can declare bankruptcy and move on to your next grift. This is the same exact shit what boomers and gen X did and you the milenial/zoomer is paying the price for it. Companies don't think in long term because there is no future whatsoever. Everything is becoming shittier, gayer and lamer anyway so you might as well milk the cow until its dry, and whatever happens happens.
>>727594476Nothing will change nigflix will just make the same stuff they was already making as of late
>>727607808true
>>727607868everyone on the team thought it was a failure. it was a clear-cut case of the emperor's new clothes. unfortunately, anyone who spoke up got beheaded, so everyone learned to keep quiet
>>727597032I would say Lola Bunny will now be voiced by a nog, but they already did that with Space Jam 2.
>>727598060You'd be amazed on how much of the worlds economy and "successful" companies are all smoke and mirrors which only reveals itself when some investment group or exec has set up the chess pieces to make a fortune for himself playing musical chairs for the next guy to do the same thing.
>>727607691see>>727607282
>>727606385I haven't paid for netflix since everyone started pulling their content to shill their own streaming services. It was obvious what was gonna happen so I just went all in on piracy.
>>727602072They already signed a contract with Tubi so regardless it's there for the time being and Tubi doesn't even care if you use an ad blocker.
>>727594476The only think WBD made of worth anymore was Mortal Kombat and that's been in the shitter for a while. Shame that Netflix will be the only way to likely see the MK movies anymore unless you decide to buy the physically or digitally elsewhere, but other than that, this isn't a loss for anybody for games.Netflix being the owner of the Looney Tunes IP is much more of a problem. They'll also own TBS and TNT so if you're into whatever sports pop up there, I hope you like Netflix since sports is a HUGE focus for them moving forward anyway.
>>727608057And of course the Emperors never get punished for those flops.
>>727608057If you are still in the entertainment industry you are a leftover.Everyone who still had any kind of artistic value or actual knowledge left already. >>727608469Of course because everyone knows it'll flop. That is in the plan.This is like making a bad movie. Everyone knows its gonna bomb.
>>727606795don't think about how if amazon's servers go down, 1/3rd of the internet goes down with it
>>727608706Why is losing a ton of money the plan? So they have an excuse to fire the entire team except themselves?
How come HBO got the right for the harry potter series? did WB sold it to them?
>>727594476BLOOD ANIME ADAPTATION BY "APU WHY DO YOU STILL TALK THAT" GUY LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
>>727609020HBO is owned by Warner Brothers, always has been. They created it to be a premium subscription cable service. Back then without the internet, a lot of these media companies saw value in creating certain brand identities and hiding the involvement of certain studios. It's the reason Disney had Touchstone Studios, a company they owned to put out movies that didn't say Disney. if you're making a premium cable service you don't want it associated with the Looney Tunes because you're trying to sell adults on the idea that its highbrow entertainment. They were always the same company though.
I give it 2 in a half years of unprofitability before WB gets sold again
>>727599112I wonder if this buyout will lead to future golden age cartoon blu-ray releases being censored? I know most recent Warner Bros releases of their classic cartoons have been uncensored, and there was even a controversy surrounding a Tom and Jerry collection that was going to be censored that led to it not even being released. I'm worried as to the extent that Netflix might tamper with or outright withhold some of those cartoons due to "racism" or whatever.
>>727607145Someone in the FTC was trying to save Xbox from Microsoft
>>727610653it'll be like Activison, and Batman is their CoD
>bought by netflixyou know what happens
>>727610664They won't, those will stay uncut.
>>727610860funny but WB games are already blacked
They'll still put MK on consoles, right?
>>727594476>didn't mention WB GamesWB Games is mentioned in the acquisition deal but it's probably more just Netflix is going to just let them do their own thing unless they become a money pit.
So if WB died because everything they acquired had massive debt that just stacked on top of WB, doesn't this mean that now Netflix is basically buying a ton of debt?
>>727606385Silent majority that likes Stranger Things and don't engage in online discourse. There is also the people who just never unsub and forget about it while it drains funds. Still unsustainable when the only shows people sub for are ending soon and I have zero faith shitflix can pump out more content people WANT to watch in comparison to the stuff people don't. Netflix buying WB only further cements them sinking with how much debt and fuck ups WB currently carries.
>>727607145The regulators bungled what should've been an easy case to the point the judges chastised them for basically just being a Playstation defense squad instead of actually providing arguments as to why anti-trust enforcement should apply. And that was under an FTC that ostensibly gave something of a shit about monopolies.As long as Netflix contributes to Trump's ballroom fund or whatever the fuck this week's grift is nobody is gonna blink in 2027 when you see the Pitt and House of the Dragon shoved next to Squid Game America
>>727598060The funny thing about these giant acquisitions is that its precipitated by financial or social issues with the company that is buying. Warner Bros buying Discovery a few years ago was the big sign that Warner were in a bad place because what these executives do is buy more when they see the writing on the wall.Netflix is probably in the same boat, they did this deal because they probably project their market share to be in the gutter 10 years in the future without some kind of juice. Warner gets an exit strategy and Netflix get to keep the party going for another 10 years
>>727611637Ish.Netflix's main advantage vs the other bidders is they're just doing it with cash.Right now expect to see some random entity "inherit" a chunk of the debt and be lopped off to die while Netflix enjoys all the benefits.
>>727594476>Warner Bros gamesThey make games??
>>727594476This is probably the worst one to buy them because of what happenes to physical media and theaters if this goes thru. They are only interested in HBO Max anyway so the game division is probably gonna be more fucked than usual
>>727611637Warner Bros has the biggest properties on the planet in Superman and Batman with Cartoon Network properties that can easily reach +1b in revenue each. assuming the economy isn't in a massive recession like it is now kek Warner Bros. being ran by retards is the only reason they are in this situation.
>>727594476no, because the gaming division will just cease to exist
>>727612024Mortal Kombat and Lego. Thats about it.Oh, and they just released a remaster of Blood.
>>727594476Man we're never getting another one are we.
>>727596723where can I buy them? oh, I can't? guess you can't even claim lost revenue.
>>727594476Is Netflix finally going to realize the Resident Evil style Where Are You Scooby-Doo game I've been asking for? Classic Creep Capers (N64) was kino minus the shitty bits. I want Crapcom to help someone do it right.
>>727612024middle earth, batman, mortal kombat, injustice, fear, hogwarts, legoDo you even play games fake ass bih
>>727603229>but it didn't pass the 700 million mark it estimately needed to be considered a success.700m in profit?
>>727594884heh
>>727612625Gross, yes. It grossed 616 mil.
>>727603805holy kekI should not renew my netflix sub then
>>727608057>one leader made everyone call her the professor>didn't have a PhD or any advanced degree and never taught in higher ed>got written up to HR if you didn't call her thatThat will always be funny.
so people are just letting Netflix get away with Cuties, huh?
Netflix just wants the movie studios and HBO MAX so what does this mean for everything else WB has? The videogame division is probably worth less than dirt
>>727612315I just played this the other day and man if you're really looking for a sequel you need to be underage b&It's literally a babby's first words game even memeing guns get old fast. Would be nice game for your kids though
>>727613360Considering how many pedophiles work at Warner Bros, a deal like this would likely have gone through even if Netflix was at rock bottom in reputation from that movie.
>>727605974>Hopefully it'll go to NetflixNothing good would come of that.
WB Games needs a leadership shake up so I'm not bothered by this because, just like ABK, it was already shit so if it stays shit then I don't care but if this makes their output any better then cool. I'll be there.
>>727594476How can that shitty company have that much money
>>727594476WB games is now OWNED 100 percent by Netflix. Netflix games fucking SUCKS and does phone games. Mostly for women. See the IOS games that say "requires netflix accounts" as examples. . Netflix games has ambition to pivot to more serious games, and a new boss. No idea of competence level. WB games boss is almost completely fucking incompetent. >>727597263This anon has big dick energy. Lets expand dong for a second>TT games,Lego> Avalanche SoftwareHogwarts. Also I had no idea they were MORMON AS FUCK.>NetherRealm Mortal Kombat> WB games Montreal Last did Gotham Knights. Support studio for Lego and Batman arkham, and suicide squad. Current project is a live service DC game. No visibility.> RocksteadyArhkham. Suicide squad. Was functionally decapitated since Metoo took out their founders. Is suppposedly working on a a new Arkham game. '>>727594745Selling some or all the portfolio is a possibility. Sauds aren't buying right now. MS isn't buying right now. Tencent might, or they might buy studios, or have some sort of deal where they run the show in exchange for part ownership. That is WILD unbased speculation.t. Comes here because you filthy animals SAVED my uncle's retirement fund, because Jason. FEARS PEDO COWTITS is worse than incompetent and keeping me informed for investments.
>>727603805Netflix won the bidding because they showed up with straight cash instead of whatever meme accounting the Ellisons and Saudis tried to pull. Netflix has been profitable for a good while because they've basically become "default premium streaming" while youtube/twitch/et al. is free streaming, the real struggle is how do you keep making more profit than you did before.
I'm just glad classic americana like Looney Toons isn't getting bought by the chinese, though netflix will probably take the old Bugs crossdressing jokes as a means to make him trans so maybe this isn't much better, kek
>>727613360No they already arrested the crew behind it years ago.
>>727614165They're not, they're leaving WB's IPs alone.
>>727598929>>727599034WB threatened to sue trump over memes in his first presidential campagin, and Netflix put out a miniseries that made him look like Lex Luthor. A number of their high profile employees in hollywood have been very public and they hate him like Eggman hates that hedgehog. I think dollars will win over spite, but this isn't going to be like the EA deal.
>>727596723nobody's going to sue you if the rights holders folded years ago with no clear successor or the game is stuck behind the web of legalese nobody knows who should do the suing
>>727594476Absolutely grimCant wait for a new lotr movie that will somehow be even worse than rings of shit
>>727599429Yes. Owned via monoloith.gWe should expect nothing but stupidity and failure and that dumb racist indian dude from Netflix.>>727600453>>727600746If you worked in a WB game studio, you should have been fucking worried for the past 5 years straight. >>727601564Because it's big enough that normies who can't read financial reports will blindly buy, so they pump WB full of debt loads and then offload to the next john.
>>727614476>jews hating a jew president?
>>727602234Not clear who's running the show and what their objectives are. It's going to be REAL interesting to see which way they go.
>>727602324Because nintendo isn't fucking stupid.
>>727614691The old self-hating Jew stereotype.Also Trump is a moron.
>>727603935Also, WB has been plummeting in value.
>>727614476Seeing how he is full on fucking all of them with no lube and dick coated with iode and sand to cripple rectums as he did to bbc, the next 3 years will be nasty
>>727605087The studios are outrunning the shitposting.
>>727594476Warner Bros? So they own DC now? Meh. Not sure what else they own so whatever I think? >they own HBO as wellLOLWell, all their Game of Thrones spin-offs were shit anyway so it's not like Netflix can ruin them further.
>>727602171>wasn't netflix going down a cliff?lel, that's just what dumbasses who get buttmad that their niche cartoon got one season while Big Mouth gets eight and blame it all on the latter, said. They're always like this. Wishful thinking because they got "betrayed" by the businessmen.K-Pop Demon Hunters is Netflix's breakout success and they are milking the everliving FUCK out of it. And Stranger Things is airing its last season, and is shaping up to be the most watched and successful property on Netflix, ever.
>>727597279WB was more unprofitable and losing money faster
>>727605774>who watches itwomen.
>>727605774>Like who the fuck watches netflix?Children.
>>727613523They could always just split the company like what Marvel did before Disney just bought it all back well except the Universal/Sony rights
Man, HBO is like the only one who actually produced kino once in a while. There's no way that's happening when Netflix puts their dirty dick in there.
>>727615657HBO has gone downhill and started going pretty woke in recent years. Granted, it was much less woke than Netflix but that's not saying much. A pride parade is less woke than a Netflix show.
>>>(((netflix))) No thanks
>>727613523Netflix MIGHT want some of the gaming shit to make movie games from their IP.>>727605974WB owns the nemesis patent, but has nobody who can implement it or a title for it. >>727602171Netflix has a stupid valuation.>>727615132You're right, but netflix's valuation has pretty much nothing to do with the success or failure of any shows.
Holy shit. Imagine all the IPs they can now put into Multiversus. Stranger Things? KPOP Demon Hunters? Marco Polo? Orange Is the New Black? Squid Game? Bridgerton???
>>727594476Netflix has "Warner Bros money"? Are they really that huge? What the fuck?
>>727594884Warnerbrosisters....not like this
>>727594476Well, that's certainly unfortunate.
>>727615950Uh, anon, player first games was shot in the head and killed.>>727615972WB got loaded with debt like a popper pig pozzed whore.
>>727596162They literally take money from our taxes to make entertainment that will bomb but is made to lecture or demoralize the common man.
>>727596824I'm fine with HBOMax getting axed. We're just watching the era of everyone and their grandmother having a streaming service gradually taper off as natural selection does its thing.
>>727605774>who watches netflix?same question we can ask "who watches tv?"answer is that boomers sleeping on the couch with the tv on.same thing with netflix.answer is that young parents with kids who leave netflix on for kids to occupy their time.
Netflix has games on their platform.Could see them potentially making 1st party games just for Netflix - lots of tie in games.
>>727598060They have been doing mergers since AOL days because capitalism requires line to go up. Every single merger increases the debt which they spin off into another company and keep the assets and just pass the buck to the next company. It's the same thing with Discovery which is why they had ruthless cuts to get the debt under control. Leveraged buyout is one of the biggest poisons of Western society. Imagine buying a car but with a loan that gets put onto the car itself. You drive it for some time and then sell off the good parts of the car and just sell it to the next person who takes a loan against the car and repeats the process. It's legalized asset stripping for infinite money at the cost of all the employees.
Werent there laws against monopoly?
>>727615950>Multiversuskek. imagine if it was able to hang on for just 11 more months. though i'm sure they would've put in something like a background character from great british bakeoff instead
>>727616676I read that almost if not all the debt is going with Discovery. Which is clever. Cutthroat, but clever.
>>727594476>$82 billionThese acquisitions are getting out of control. What's the point when you're going to be in debt forever? Is winning the IP war really that important?
>>727603565It's almost funny how out of touch polfags are lol. Warner has been in debt since 2000 from the AOL debt. Every other company that merges with it has been playing hot potato.
>>727606385Charlie Kirk was a plot device not an actual character. He was only used to garner muh sympathy and that well dried up in weeks.
>>727613360Release the list, Tangerine.
>>727616891>Is winning the IP war really that important?Whoever controls the IPs can make AI slop using them and won't run into legal troubles for feeding AI all those movies and shows to help train it. The AI trained on HBO has a chance to make good shit.
reminder that netflix is only buying the studios and streaming subsidiary. discovery is being spun off to its own thing and a lot of WB stuff is going with it that netflix won't own. pic related. if it's on the left hand side, it's not part of the buyout
>>727617713You sound like a raging ratard.
>>727594476That new Harry Potter show is so fucked. Hogwarts is going to look like Chicago O'Hare Airport now, with all the nogs and mystery meat running around.
>>727607145In this case they're buying a unit of a large conglomerate, so it's not like they're merging competition out of business. Discovery will still be competing with them.
Videogames are joever. Unironically. The gachaslop was the last hurrah. All franchises are not growing as fast. The peak of the playerbase was reached already. People are buying cheaper games. Games are much less ambitious despites bloated budgets and graphics.Companies will think it twice before putting gpus and ram on a "videogame" machine rather than computing servers.You cant sustain a whole industry out of GTA6 and FIFA alone. People are listening more podcasts than playing videogames.WB is a wonderful example of how no one really cares about videogames. WB has all those ips and there isnt any fight to make the next arkham like game.I predict videogames will become niche again in the next 10 years. Which is great btw. We will see better, smaller games for core audiences.
>>727613702Why not? >>727615924>WB owns the nemesis patent, but has nobody who can implement it or a title for it.WB has rights to DC comics, which would be perfect for the system. To bad they wrecked Rocksteady so like you said they have no one to implement a fun and marketable game.
>>727617120When that happened, I was like "Man, Trump is going to go scorched earth now after this..." and it's just been a lot of investigating. They burn off two years doing nothing but "investigating", then Democrats get back into some level of power again, and then the last half of his term is lame duck territory as they block everything he tries to do, and the clock resets. Congratulations.
Does this mean I can livestream Warner Bros games on YouTube or do you think Netflix will be uppity about their IPs too?
>>727619703>Companies will think it twice before putting gpus and ram on a "videogame" machine rather than computing servers.This shit really hits hard. Whatever, more time to play indie games
>>727619765>Why not?Netflix is just another greedy piece of shit company with greedy out of touch execs. If they got hold of it, they'd do fuck all with it or something really terrible with it.
>>727609741Oh makes sense, I remember there being a movie I found out recently was done dirty by disney but its was from touchstone, which is probably the same thing
Batmobile gonna be a low rider
>Money pit streaming companies only surviving on investors buying up money pit streaming companies only surviving on investors, powered by money pit AI and cloud companies surviving off of investors.What a fucking joke everything is now. Money has no meaning at all but everything costs more than it ever has at the same time.
>>727621623Blame the curtain being pulled that all of our tax payer dollars in the U.S. are going towards nuking children. How anyone takes this shithole seriously at this point is beyond me.
>>727599443all they make is trash
>>727596315decrease in bad* movies
>>727616676except the line hasn't gone up
>>727596723Cool.So the legal owner of the No One Lives Forever IP can take me to court if I pirate it.
>>727596723Neither the creators nor the original or current owners of the IP can profit from the gameretard
>>727603805WB is the hot potato of studios.
>>727615132>K-Pop Demon Hunters is Netflix's breakout success and they are milking the everliving FUCK out of it. And Stranger Things is airing its last season, and is shaping up to be the most watched and successful property on Netflix, ever.Except in Japan where a local creation holds that title.
>>727594476Netflix is profitable but still needs to grow. They've made overtures over being interested in gaming and WB Games actually gives them an arm to do that with.Same as with WB as a film production group, now they have the network and infrastructure to actually make theatrical releases happen.
>>727598060It was due to the merger of Discovery Inc. with Warner Media, years agoDiscovery only saw negative reviews of its content, which in turn brought out the worst in its streaming and video game platformsThis was the reason why they removed many original IPs such as old cartoons from the HBO Max catalog, as well as those responsible for only calling them Max for a while, they were also responsible for killing Adult Swim Games
>>727605087and Batman's most beloved actor has been a gay man since the 90s.
>>727617847That's just the channels themselves, the actual content (for scripted stuff at least) is part of the sale.
>>727606795>your enemies are fighting among themselvesLet them consume each other
>>727604969lol said the scorpion, "lmao"
>>727594745>I asssume someone else will buy Wb Games, so Microsoft, Tencent or SaudisI hope it's Saudis, they would bring sexy back to Mortal Kombat
>>727619786They are still "investigating" because just like the Trump shooting it was a righty getting fed with up with his party and the lies. Look how quickly they found and processed Luigi. When they need to send a message to protect the billionaires they act with insane speed but when the truth isn't convenient they just wait for people to forget. Now if the shooter was an immigrant or something we would keep hearing about it nonstop.
>>727599269And it still can't die quickly enough
Am I out of the loop? Why is everyone acting like Netflix would make everything x10 times more woke than before? Warner was already doing stuff like Velma, House of the Dragon and nu-Mortal Kombat, what did Netflix do lately that was worse than that?
>>727596162>I always wonder with these fuckhuge acquisitions how they intend to make back all that money. Wasn't WB bleeding money?They assume that every single HBO Max subscriber will become a Netflix subscriber, that's probably the main thing
Bosko TV show & tie-in game confirmed
>>727605087
>>727626191Yeah and you'd think big studios would've learned by now to not try and hold the hot potato in the first place.
>>727628290>quoting the entire post>phoneposting go back
>>727594884And the Warner sister...

>>727613360Get away with what?
>>727615972They don't actually need cold hard cash. Just another business loan. The entire world runs on debt these days.
>>727594745The game studio is worthless without the IPs
>>727597032All I know is that Adult Swim is gonna die
>>727631027>AI lover also likes basedjaksNot a big shock.
it sounds like netflix just bought half of western media. what other company(s) own the other half?I haven't watched tv in a decade, i'm really out of the loop with this kinda shit - i just know its been funny to laugh at WB Games failing every year for what feels like forever
>>727634269>what other company(s) own the other half?Disney and Paramount
>>727601696They care a bit about comics since they bought Dark Horse, and Mark Millar managed to make them buy out his Independent MillarWorld comics, but that might be more due to Millar being a good Snake Oil Salesman than anything
>>727601696Netflix owns several mobile game studios, they own Millarworld, and they're opening their own cinemahouses
>>727594476FUCKING RELEASE ITFUCKING DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
>>727634269Disney and Amazon i think
>>727634269Warner owns Supernatural and Netflix is gonna buy them... You know what that means... We're gonna get a horrible reboot in a few years after the acquisition
>>727594476I was kind of hoping that Paramount was going to buy them, so that TMNT would become an official part of DC canon.
>>727636915Cowabummer.
another massive acquisition thatll end up like the rest, big fat turds that produce nothing of value and shut down most studios
>>727594884Warnerxisters.... not like this....
Venture bros died for this shit
>>727616938>uhurm, the fact that WB lost $21B since 2022 because they make woke dogshit that nobody cares about.... JUST DOESN'T MATTER OK?!
>>727596723Nigger.
So we can all agree the whole "woke" stuff was VCs trying to drive down the cost of buying legacy media for their new ventures with them in charge?

>>727639263It doesn't matter. You are new to Vulture capitalism. The point was always to strip the company for parts ever since 2000. $21 Billion is nothing compared to the debt they took on from the Leveraged Buyout.
>>727596162It's your money they are spending on it.
>>727635105Now that's scary. The CW already did their best to girl power it up as it was. I can't imagine how badly Netflix would.
>>727643948They also own ATHF... Oh god
>>727619539I mean... it takes place in Europe
>>727594884Yakko & wakko bros...
>>727594476is amazing how warner bros, one of the titans of entertainment being almost 100 years old was brought by a shitty tech company not even 15 years old, we truly are living on the end times.

>>727594476It's worse than you think.
>>727595398Daniel Bryan went to AEW?
>>727594476>Are they forgot that WB Games?No one wants WB games, which is only there so they can make games on properties they own. If someone else owns the properties then you don't need a branded in-house studio. Also fuck those faggots for never using the nemesis system outside of the mordor games.
>>727648361Well you're wrong at least for now. Netflix is buying WB games too. Maybe they shut it down right away like Disney did with LucasArts but nothing is announced on that and Netflix acknowledged they were acquiring WB Games.
>>727594476They'll either continue to hoard all of those various IPs that they refuse to do anything with or they'll let that one faggot make shit-tier cartoons of them, which will continue to get worse with each new one that he comes into contact with.
>>727605774I really don't know anymore and now that Stranger Things, their biggest cash cow, is finally ending. Netflix is gonna try find their biggest cash cow with this acquisition
oh no no no no
>>727596162Where did fucking Netflix GET all that money??
>>727594476Will the nemesis system finally be free from patent hell?
>>727648813>Shit tier cartoonsLike that one douchebag that made Thundercats Roar? That show was unwatchable holy shit...

>>727608706>Everyone who still had any kind of artistic value or actual knowledge left already.Serious question, what are they doing now? I think there's going to be some great opportunities for people like that in the not too distant future when these rotted out industries start to implode.
>>727594884It never began for Warnercels...
>>727594476all the warner games are going to become cellphone exclusivecause netflix only does cellphone games
>>727594476If Netflix had any kind of sense they would immediately fire everyone. There is a reason that this corporation has gone through so much restructuring and still never managed to get back on their feet.
>>727656559Injustice bros we are so back
>>727611310Netflix bought up the rights to Roald Dahl's works and began publishing censored versions of his books.
>>727594476Batman will be a nigger, watch it happen. Or maybe Barbara will be black like what they did to starfire.
>>727656853Actually, I might have been wrong about that, I guess it was just a bunch of faggots at Puffin.
