Basically, all of WB Games is being restructured into two specific studios and each studio will concentrate solely on two franchise from here on out.

One studio will only crank out DC Comics games or Mortal Kombat games (NeatherRealm)
One studio will only crank out Harry Potter or Game of Thrones games (WB Montreal)

Everybody else is fired and all other properties are shelved indefinitely.

At least we'll keep getting shitty Game of Thrones games for the foreseeable future.

The franchise is dead but these video game ninjas keep bringing it back like they're white walkers.

How many adjectives did you consider before settling on 'nightmarish' to describe a video game studio's corporate restructuring.

There are Game of Thrones video games? I’m assuming all mobile trash.

Soooo more of the same? WB hasn't made anything but licensed drivel and MK since they bought all of Midway's day-old leftovers.

Frankly, the video game industry is beyond ripe for a culling. All of these $200 million dollar lowest common denominator sandbox turds should have been a wakeup call a decade ago. EA and Ubi need to crumble into dust and more, smaller studios should rise out of the ashes to make things they're excited about instead of endless IP trash.

Well Warner Bros has done such a good job with HBO Max, Max, what is it at the moment HBO Max again?

They wouldn’t release their own Loony Tunes Movie among other shelved movies that have been finished

I don’t care about any Mortal Kombat or whatever they are cranking out these days, but I do wish they would sell the other Midway properties to someone that could do something with them other than keep them shelved.

Maybe he meant "nightmarish" for the employees? I don't know.
