WB Games Begins Sell-Off: But is it the First...or the Last? (VL495)
201With EA's purchase of Golf Clash maker, Playdemic, it would seem the sell-off of WB Games assets has begun. Who's next? NetherRealm? Traveler's Tales? Rocksteady?
Or are the signals coming from AT&T and Warner Bros. actually indicative of another reality all together; one where almost all of the WBIE portfolio remains in tact?
We aim to build videos based on *our* storied franchises...in Virtual Legality.
