How is that even possible while being the owners of HBO? They really must've played their cards poorly.

Surely WBD between media IP ownership, foot into streaming with HBO/Max catalouge, game development contracts or indeed game studios whom have needed manpower, Sony should just buy WBD altogether.

There's another aspect that acquiring companies may be considering, Superman, Batman and many other characters are going public domain within ten years.

If marvel are playing funny buggers then hedge bets with DC ownership, or feck experiment with some crossover DC v Marvel game and say hello EVO 20xx.

There's still something to be said for Sony's studios' pedigrees. I don't expect Blade to perform like Spiderman just cause it's a Marvel IP, if you see what I mean?

There was a rumor of them discussing a merger with Paramount(?) who also have a lot of debt. It would be like piling all the dog turds in my neighbor's yard into the Triceratops turd from Jurassic Park.
