News from a few weeks ago revealed how Take-Two Interactive, Microsoft products, Activision Blizzard ed Electronic Arts had decided to try to acquire WB Games (also known as Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) Of the AT&T. The US telecommunications giant, according to what was leaked from circles very close to the company, seemed to be even about to listen carefully to the offers put on the plate by other companies, so as to be able to lighten its own financial situation general, burdened by a heavy debt of over $ 154 billion. Despite the very persistent rumors, the CEO of WarnerMedia Jason Kilar had denied, in a letter addressed to its shareholders, the intention of Warner Bros. and AT&T to divest the gaming division. And, as reported in the last few hours by Bloomberg, the reality of the facts would seem to be just this.
The well-known financial portal stated that, after having concretely weighed the possibility of selling WB Games to the highest bidder, AT&T has decided to remove it from the list of transferable assets not belonging to its core business. This decision seems to have been made by the new CEO of the company, John Stankey, which regards WB Games as a strategic element of AT&T assets due to its value andhigh business growth potential. Despite what has been reported and in the absence of official press releases from those directly involved, it cannot be ruled out that this desire not to sell the firm may again be called into question. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, let's remember, owns a significant number of intellectual property with regard to the world of video games, such as for example Mortal Kombat, Harry Potter, LEGO, Game of thrones, The Lord of the Rings e Batman (as well as various characters from the DC world), to name a few. At this point we just have to wait to find out how and if the story will evolve.
