This is what happens when you go full ‘reality’ and abandon your core products.

They see the writing on the walls. Their IPs can’t carry them forever, especially now that the manchildren who like them are approaching their 40s.

I bet the Saudis have their eye on this one too.

thatKamGuy,

I don’t want to contribute to the mountains of AI slip on the internet, so instead I’ll just prompt the reader’s brain to imagine a picture of Bugs Bunny in Arabian robes, eating a carrot nonchalantly, with the caption “eh, wahabi ‘doc?”

I honestly thought WB games had already been shut down.

The corporate media landscape is already too consolidated; any further mergers should be blocked, and existing oligopolies split up instead.

CIA_chatbot,

Ooooor we can let the same right wing oligarchs purchase it and further consolidate their total control of information leading the world into a cyberpunk dystopian hellscape

The rumor a few weeks ago was Paramount/Skydance… you know… this Paramount:

Paramount/Skydance put Bari Weiss in charge of CBS News.

Weiss is known to be problematic for a variety of reasons:

For real

Bronzebeard,

This shit should not be patentable in the first place

fxleak,

But if corporations couldn’t patent it, then nobody would make it!

Don’t you know that we have copyright and patent laws to thank for why we have any art or entertainment in the first place!?

Without them, we’d have nothing.

Bronzebeard,

I don’t think the other extreme is any better.

As a sustainable video game entity, WB games would be better suited in just about anyone else’s hands. WB has tried to sell off its games division in the past, but they’ve spent the better part of two decades making sure that their game studios produced nothing except for tie-ins to their movie and comic book businesses. I was told straight to my face at a PAX years ago that the pitch process under WB starts with a game idea and ends with, “Cool, now make it Batman,” or “Cool, now make it Lord of the Rings.” Then when they tried to divest themselves of games, not only did they have no IP to sell outside of old Midway properties, they also thought the new buyer would love to keep paying licensing fees to WB for the properties attached to these gaming franchises. Bunch of geniuses over there.

Paradoksy Stanów – korporacje nie przepadają za sądami (o ile same nie pozywają), w których mogą mieć “class action lawsuit”, a gdzie generalnie ludzie pozywają się chętniej (włącznie – urban legend – ze słynnym kotem w mikrofalówce). Klauzula typu “zgadzasz się nie iść przeciwko nam do sądu, tylko zostajemy przy arbitrażu [mediacji?]” przy pierwszej interakcji z korpo jako zakamuflowana “mina prawna” – nie wiadomo: śmiać się, czy płakać. Tak samo Boeing, którego nieperfekcyjne systemy kontroli lotu w MAXach wysłały iluś ludzi na tamten świat – wynegocjował ugodę: nieco większy mandat. Co nie oznacza, że komukolwiek życzę Puchy (więzienia) – to po prostu nigdy nie powinno było się wydarzyć.

Pewnie sąd nie uzna takiego argumentu, ale trzeba mieć tupet, żeby w ogóle sformułować takie zdanie

“When the suspect was asked why he did what he did, the suspect stated, ‘He’s a bad person online,’”

Well my dude, you’re a bad person in real life.
