That's true, WB is not for sale anymore because they changed their Mind. But OP was not able to do a 5 Minute Research before posting this ThreadI thought WB is no longer on the market?

WB games has a bunch of fairly talented studios and valuable IPs that under a good direction could do genuinely great.WB games are worthless, buy Capcom.
Yeah you could have them make something else not involving DC. TBH Sony are more likely to aquire dev studios off publishers and not pay a fortune for their IP's.Mortal Kombat. NetherRealm, Monolith and Rock Steady are interesting studios.
If they were selling Ms would outbid them for sure. Whatever it costs it would be a rounding error on MS’s financials vs a significant chunk of Sony’s cash.
On a side note, does anyone have more details on why the parent company decided to NOT sell in the end?
It's unusual for one of these major companies to decide "We are moving out of the gaming business and selling that part of our company" just to change their minds few weeks later.
MS had $136bil cash on hand in June. Where have they committed ~$28bil to gaming atm?MS are out of the running. They’ve commited somewhere around 20% of their corporate on hand cash to gaming - they need to show investors a return before committing more or face some difficult earnings questions.
Pachter....
Nuff said lol
Yeah reality is often the opposite of what this guys says.

PlayStation "Is In a Good Position to Buy WB Games," Says Analyst
Last month, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media in a [...]comicbook.com
"Their acquisitions have been smaller, like Insomniac, and those are the kinds of acquisitions that I would expect,” said Pachter while speaking to Gaming Bolt. “I do think Sony is in a good position to buy Warner Bros. Interactive assets should they ever go on sale again. Depending on whether AT&T chooses to sell them, and how. If they just want to license their IP out, they will probably not go with exclusivity deals, because they won’t want the games limited to just one platform, but if they sell perpetual rights to Batman or Mortal Kombat, I think those assets would be pretty cool for Sony to fold into their lineup"
thats the kicker tho, wb only wanted to sell the studios and license the IPs. not worth it imo. its more likely they buy Square or konami than WB games.WB games has a bunch of fairly talented studios and valuable IPs that under a good direction could do genuinely great.

He really should. To the best of my knowledge he's never ever been right about anything. I get high off my ass and make more accurate predictions.Pachter is in a good position to shut the fuck up.
Yeah, but they didn't make any organizational changes that traditionally come with a decision like that, so it's likely not a permanent refrain from pursuing a sale. They likely just weren't making the progress they wanted or getting the types of bids they were looking to secure. Hoeg Law did a great video on it if you're curious.Uh didn’t AT&T changed it’s mind on selling WB’s gaming division?
