WB Games on ollut lukuisien huhujen mukaan myytävänä. Taannoin toimittaja Imran Khan kertoi kuulleensa jälleen samanlaisia huhuiluja, ja kuulemma kiinnostuneita olisivat EA, Take-Two, Microsoft, Sony, Tencent, Netease ja PUBG Corp.
Analyytikko Michael Pachter on sitä mieltä, että Sonyn - jos älykäs on - kannattaisi ostaa WB Games itselleen. Hän puhui asiasta SIFTD Gamesilla. Se tärkein pointti olisi tietysti oikeus DC Comicsin supersankareihin.
"I think if Sony were really smart, they'd make a move for Warner Bros. Interactive. But Warner Bros. Interactive isn't worth full price without the rights to exploit the DC Comics franchises. So it's an open question whether Warner Bros. is willing to fix the license that is paid for those properties to, you know, $5 million a year, $50 million a year, some number that's manageable, and commit that they will have a perpetual renewal."
Sonylla on jo hyvä edustus Marvelin supersankareita, joten DC Comicsin lisääminen joukkoon olisi varsin iso juttu.
"If you can't make Warner Bros. properties like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and DC Comics, then it doesn't really make sense to buy Warner Bros. Interactive. There are brands there that are really good. You know, like Mortal Kombat and Injustice, but Injustice has DC characters. But they're about the only ones I can think of out there that are sizeable and nominally are for sale."
