Would be huge for them if true.
These things only happened in the last few years you do not see the results of acquisitions that fast they are still in the transitioning stages.Hopefully not. Acquisitions help no one( as we saw with Bethesda and Activision).
They have Tokon.It would make sense for Sony. Mortal Kombat would become their exclusive fighting game. Also Batman and LEGO games can generate tons of money in the right hands.
One thing that would be included is the is the patent*) for the "Nemesis system". So that mechanic could finally be used outside the Mordor games.I'm curious just how much IP would be included in there as there's a LOT of stuff under the WB umbrella
Ok, two fighting games are even better than one!They have Tokon.
The ips are legendary damn how the studios are doing![]()
Don't do it Sony, they aren't selling because their studios are doing amazing work
Why do Sony fans fantasize about multiplats going exclusive?Mortal Kombat would become their exclusive fighting game.
I'm not a fan of Sony, but multiplatform is evil anyway!Why do Sony fans fantasize about multiplats going exclusive?
We all know they're doing this just to get Superman 64 Remastered on PS5Damn Sony, I didnt think you had it in you. Trying to lockdown Spiderman AND Batman?

Exactly my first thoughts. It's a shame we haven't seen any other game using it. Even a proper WB game. Fucking patent and doing nothing with it.....Would that mean they get the rights to the Nemesis system?

The best game released this year is a third party mutiplatform game; you don't need to be a first party studio to build a GOTY.I'm not a fan of Sony, but multiplatform is evil anyway!
Have you seen the sales split for Mortal Kombat games?Why do Sony fans fantasize about multiplats going exclusive?
Multiplatform games always benefit from becoming exclusives. It's a law of nature!The best game released this year is a third party mutiplatform game; you don't need to be a first party studio to build a GOTY.

But exclusive games always worsen when becoming multiplatform!
That's why humanity prefers exclusives hands down!

That'd make a hell of a cross-over.So Sony would have DC Comics and the Spider-Man copyright?
Whose getting railroaded??
Unfortunate Monolith is already gone, so dont really care.
This'll be round three for Sony as far as movie studio acquisitions go.
Fox - Lost to Disney
Paramount - Lost to Skydance Media

You can't cross over spider-man with DC without the permission of Marvel. It's a total non-starter.That'd make a hell of a cross-over.
Open world Blade Runner game on PS6 w/ Decima.
Matrix game.
Sony owning the Nemesis system.
Ok.
Studio acquisitions often do leak for some reason. Eg.Things like this typically don't leak for good reason.
WB doesn't own Blade Runner.
Making Matrix games has proven extremely difficult over the years.

This has big implications for gaming ip if the acquisition goes through.

This will %100 involve an antitrust probe, Sony Music merging with WB music (both are in the top 5 music labels around the world) alone guarantees this, let alone the concentration risk of having WB Games join SIE and WB film studios joining Columbia.
The other big question is debt, who will be taking on the gigantic debt that WB Discovery accumulated, as I understand it, the big corp is getting split up to make the studios more attractive to buyers, but the devil is in the details as they say.
LordCBH Movie Studios in general are far more open and leaky with info than gaming outlets.
WB doesn't own Blade Runner.

Lol had no idea that Warner Music Group was not affiliated with WB, kinda explains a lot of their struggles huh?Despite the name, Warner does not own Warner Music.
If Disney can buy Fox, Sony can buy WB.
WB Games is literally nothing.
As for the debt it'll be interesting to see how the debt is broken down between the streaming business and the CNN end.
The studios can be purchased but not the IP's. They are not for sell. That's why Microsoft nor Tencent didn't purchase them. WBD is being split into 2 companies next year with their debt being saddled to the company that doesn't include HBO. All this exclusive talk is bull crap those Ip's aren't going anywhere. That debt is going to be a hard sell. Only a trillion dollar company could take this hit. Outside of Apple who else would be interested?
