Those would not get sold off with their video game division. If someone bought WB's video game publishing and developing arm, their most valuable properties are still making more money for WB, which is a shit deal unless it comes at a heavy discount. This is why it failed to sell last time. They were allergic to making new video game properties that weren't tied to their movies. They technically own Midway, so I guess that could sell, but they made that Gauntlet game with Arrowhead that sold basically no copies, so we're back at how much money someone thinks Mortal Kombat is worth.
(They don't own Hitman, btw.)
Interesting. I see where your coming from.
Yeah that'd be a tough sell.
Still, the entire point of it all regardless is my other comment. Piece by piece with a golden paycheck.
