I hope the mods didn’t ban AllianceOfficier. He is really genuine and not the type to jump on the fake insider bandwagon. He also makes great contributions here.

I think Microsoft will go after these studios very hard.

I mean Netherealm and TT where literally the most sellable parts of WB even without having to dig around for documents so I dont see how this vindicates anybody.

Also shocking that WB still plans on selling … lol

Wish Microsoft would acquire all of WB Games Interactive and all of DC in it’s entirety because they would get back all that money within a decade.

Imagine that leading to a partnership with Disney, trading DC movie and series rights for Marvel/Xmen/Disney game rights.

I didn’t think it was necessary to ban anyone really, people taking anything too seriously should be responsible for their onw feelings.

I’m shaking imagining the possibilities.

How much they need to buy DC? 5-10b? Or more?

Haha, I was just searching the same gif and about to post this

Especially since he didn’t say something about an imminent acquisition so it should be good.

For those properties its irrelevant who owns them if you get exclusive games out of them for a while.

Yeah, can lead to a lot of interesting cross-overs and collaborations. Microsoft could keep the movies/tv shows/comics/etc. in tact and just license them out like they are now. They put no money into them and let whoever is licensing all that stuff cover the costs in addition to the licensing costs.

After Microsoft gets back all that initial cost, it’s literally free money for Microsoft.

My guess would be including WB Games, at least $20B. Could be more though. I don’t think that it would be less though.

Yep. Once the cost is gained back, it’s literally free money for decades to come. If it was up to me, I would go all out for WB and DC mainly because in the long term, I know that im not going to lose anything.

You are telling me that WB wants to sell more of their game division?

I can confirm this.

Whether or not this will lead to something remains to be seen though. MS is at least looking into it as far as I think to know.

The squirrel has spoken lol.

Although, to be fair this has always been very likely what with, shall we say, WB’s very shaky reasons to have studios under its belt in the current business environment over there.

I would say TT Games would fit very well MS’ needs for E-rated content, and NetherRealm with Mortal Kombat would add more diversity to Game Pass ( and who knows maybe a second team working on Killer Instinct ).

Expand Netherrealm into two teams working on Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct.

Sounds like a decent plan. :wink:

I wonder how Jez got his hands on documentation from Warner…

Are we going to remove slow mode with this new development?

I would love a MK vs KI game.

I hope Rocksteady is on sale because I feel that’s WB’s crown jewel and so much potential for that studio

TT and Netherrealm would be perfect for Xbox. Fighting games and Lego games with Xbox Mascots :+1:
