The week ended with the expected shareholders approval that AT&T sold Discovery his majority stake of WarnerMedia and Time Warner for a $49 billion sale after Randall Stephenson’s vision of an AT&T as a giant in telecommunication and entertainment only made sense to him and failed (along with DIRECTV and AT&T).
For our interests which is gaming, it was reported that many AT&T’s executives and upper management will no longer be in charge and most new people are coming from Discovery. There was a big rumor that for some reason, Warner Bros. Interactive and WB Games would have been separated within part of WarnerMedia and Discovery.
While the rumor remains to be true or just noises from the industry, GameIndustries.biz reported that David Haddad will keep leading WB Games as one of the surprising “survivors” from the executive purge going on at WarnerMedia.
He will be reporting to JB Perrett, the newly appointed lead of the company's streaming and gaming business operations.
But unfortunately doesn’t seems to be a clear path for what is the future of the 11 studios that makes WB Games like Netherrealm Studios, Monolith Productions, TT Games, Rocksteady Studios, and Avalanche Software as last rumors indicated that TimeWarner and Discovery would be sharing 50-50 and I can’t see HOW Discovery in particular can capitalize
