Rumor resurfaces again

 

[Zeroing]

Omg not again! They were for sale before and decided it was stupid decision because nobody gave the amount they were asking! Also everyone now is betting in gaming and WB wants to leave? Nah I do not think so.

 

[Topher]

In before "Microsoft, clearly"

 

[Omali]

Microsoft, clearly.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Soon:

Today is a historic moment. We are excited to announce that the world-renowned franchises and talented people at
WARNER BROS will be joining Team Xbox!  

 

[Edgelord79]

My guess is the company who offers the most money will be successful

 

[SJRB]

Not this shit again.

They’d own Mortal Kombat and all of the Midway IPs. That’s pretty big.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Fuck yeah, something new to argue about!

 

[kraspkibble]

MS or Tencent. At a push maybe Take Two or EA. the rest can't afford it.

Killer Instinct vs. Mortal Kombat

 

[Kdad]

Makes the most sense for Sony to leverage those IP into joint movie content as well as game perhaps? Give the superhero genre to Sucker Punch to own.

 

[Rivet]

Microsoft could be interested but they can't do anything right now until FTC decides about Actibliz, which could take a while. So maybe Tencent...

 

[TGO]

So not actually WB, just their studios and IP's excluding DC stuff

 

[Topher]

Voted for "Neteasy" because I've NEVER heard of them.

 

[ahtlas7]

oh dear!

 

[kraspkibble]

Voted for "Neteasy" because I've heard of them.

you've not heard of MS, SONY, Tencent, EA?

ok.

 

[GreatnessRD]

Tencent

Because monies. Because reasons.

Don't be triggered, friend. SEGA_2012 I don't make the rules. Dey deewwww.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

So those IPs can be used in movies? Makes the most sense for Sony imo.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Uncle Phil getting ready to pounce

 

[Dolodolo]

It will be Sony. And you all know it. They are literally looking for a Fighting Studio.

Only under Sony Rocksteady will be able to show his true potential and become the second Insomniac, in terms of performance and quality.

 

[Jaybe]

Hope someone buys them. Can’t be motivating working under a corp with no vision for gaming that treats you like the ugly unwanted stepson.

 

[Topher]

ok.

What?

Gaming side speaking

 

[TGO]

Neteasy or Netease?

That reminds me, where is my Lollipop Chainsaw Remaster

 

[kraspkibble]

What?

[Captain Toad]

Why is there not an option for "they're not being sold"?

This is a very weak leak/rumor.

 

[solidus12]

Isn't he the journalist that refused to cover Hogwarts's Legacy?
He's been wrong so many times... so he's not a reliable source

[Topher]

read your comment

Yeah. I've never heard of Neteasy.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Do you think we are in for a seilrious lul in gaming ( worse than what we currently have) and every big publisher or developer is just praying they get bought ASAP after the covid bump while the stocks at the highest?

Then the companies are just left trying to manage these huge ass employee numbers and games that aren't making enough money.

I dunno, I just think something is going on with all these buys.

 

[splattered]

Man some people...

 

[kraspkibble]

Yeah. I've never heard of Neteasy.

wtf you on about

 

[Dolodolo]

Uncle Phil getting ready to pounce

Uncle Phil is not even allowed to breathe until the Activation deal is closed.
Relax

 

[Topher]

wtf you on about

You are the one posting nonsense, not me.

 

[kraspkibble]

You are the one posting nonsense, not me.

you said you've heard of them then say you haven't. make your mind up.

 

[DeepEnigma]

you've not heard of MS, SONY, Tencent, EA?

ok.

 

[solidus12]

Imran Khan should be a banned source.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I feel bad for NRS. Their games sell a ton and MK is a giant IP. They should just go independent tbh but it will never happen.

 

[ClosBSAS]

lets go phil...do it and bring that shit to pc and xbox..KI and MK while sony can take street fighter.

It seems WB Games price should be around $4 billion. Sony could buy them for the superhero games... Make them work with Insomniac and Sucker Punch.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Uncle Phil getting ready to pounce

Is this a Netflix documentary about Phil?

 

[kraspkibble]

It seems WB Games price should be around $4 billion. Sony could buy them too for the superhero games... Make them work with Insomniac and Sucker Punch.

if $4b is what sony is offering they won't get it.

 

[solidus12]

Well, if you don't have the talent and IPs that go with it, then buy your way into "victory"

 

[Topher]

you said you've heard of them then say you haven't. make your mind up.

Mistake in first post. Corrected.

 

[kraspkibble]

yeah, well maybe read your comment before saying i'm taking nonsense.

 

[Papacheeks]

MS or Tencent. At a push maybe Take Two or EA. the rest can't afford it.

Microsoft literally can’t because of their on going buyout for A/b which doesn’t close/finalize till June 2023.

All they can do is buy small development studios. Not a publishing house.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

jajaja jaja.."war....war never changes".

 

[Dolodolo]

It seems WB Games price should be around $4 billion. Sony could buy them for the superhero games... Make them work with Insomniac and Sucker Punch.

What are you talking about?
Most likely everyone will buy several studios and that will be the end of it.
No one will offer even two billion for all of them.

 

[DeepEnigma]

yeah, well maybe read your comment before saying i'm taking nonsense.
