Sony will not do Harry Potter franchise any favors...
Be excited about this Hogwarts alternate universe starring a kid Aloy as transfer student!

Lol had no idea that Warner Music Group was not affiliated with WB, kinda explains a lot of their struggles huh?
Do you think Sony will make anything exclusive here? Things like MK or Batman Arkham or Hogwarts have strong reach and sales even on Xbox and it would probably be harmful for Sony to completely cut them off in any way.
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?
Didn't WB try to sell their video game stuff and got no takers? Or am I hallucinating?
Anyway I don't know why WB would sell all the valuable stuff they have (even if thehve grossly mismanaged it) while holding on to the total shit, but I guess it's a question of price.
Delusional takesThis'll be round three for Sony as far as movie studio acquisitions go.
Fox - Lost to Disney
Paramount - Lost to Skydance Media
So what is WB after they sell? A bunch of shit that loses money? They'll cease to exist.They were trying to sell the studios but not the IP. So no surprise no one was interested.
The value in WB is going to be in the new media/streaming business and the divisions of that business. You could maybe sell HP as an IP with associated studios and use that to fund projects moving forward.
WarnerMedia was spun off in 2022 by AT&T, and they merged with Discovery. The idea here (I would imagine) is to spin them off again and they'll merge with someone else such as Sony.So what is WB after they sell? A bunch of shit that loses money? They'll cease to exist.
*as long as it's not gaas.
Harry and Ron very graphical romance confirmed for the next game!Sony will not do Harry Potter franchise any favors...

They might as well Sony push agendas in there own games just like wb do

Discovery being the holders of the debt will then use the money they make from the sale of WarnerMedia to pay it off.
Correction: They don't help if Microsoft acquires them. Sony acquisitions have mostly been successful. Bungie and Firewalk being recent exceptions.Hopefully not. Acquisitions help no one( as we saw with Bethesda and Activision).
Studio acquisitions often do leak for some reason. Eg.
This has big implications for gaming ip if the acquisition goes through.

Tiger blood.Why do Sony fans fantasize about multiplats going exclusive?
Naughty Dog is rumored to be making one.Sony need a top tier studio to do Uncharted games. I think Rocksteady could meet those requirements.
To probably force a 3rd party into a bidding war.So what's the good reason here?
Yeah.. and sony is doing magical things with theirs right ?Would be great. All WB do is killing their great IPs.
Damn Sony, I didnt think you had it in you. Trying to lockdown Spiderman AND Batman?

Don't they do it already, previously with Vue, now Sony Pictures Core?Please don't enter the streaming market Sony, just sell content to the ones willing to lose billions on it.
The IP would be great though.
They should really learn their lesson from the last three years, and maybe consider NOT buying anyone they aren't intimately familiar with.

And crunchyroll which is the only profitable streaming service aside from Netflix.Don't they do it already, previously with Vue, now Sony Pictures Core?
This would benefit Sony in more than one way though. So it could well be a big thing worth doing.Hopefully not. Acquisitions help no one( as we saw with Bethesda and Activision).
Would this acquisition be geared towards the movie and TV side with the gaming being an afterthought?Damn Sony, I didnt think you had it in you. Trying to lockdown Spiderman AND Batman?

They only showed interest in Fox, Paramount they walked away with zero attempts to outbid so I wouldn't say that's a lost, more of lack of interest.This'll be round three for Sony as far as movie studio acquisitions go.
Fox - Lost to Disney
Paramount - Lost to Skydance Media
