Buyout Deal Worth $82 Billion Could See Netflix Gain Access to Warner Bros. Game IPs Such as Batman, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat

Funny thing is I already got an email from Netflix about the merger, seems they jumped the gun a bit.
 
I basically give Netflix's offer a snowball's chance you no where in succeeding, regardless of if they come up with a counter offer. In order to avoid breaking our rule on politics all I can say is the deck is heavily stacked against them. For those not in the know, research who currently owns Paramount.

Bottom line is WB shouldn't go to either of them and there were some articles about why Netflix is a bad fit that had valid points but one of these two is already likely to be approved before regulators ever see the paperwork.

Can you actually build anything in these games or are they all "story mode" games only?

There IS a Lego game more akin to Minecraft where you can build pretty much anything, including vehicles, can't remember its name though.

Hopefully this means that WB will stop killing their successful gaming IPs with BS MTX/Live service nonsense.

WB is such a weird publisher. They do a fantastic job maintaining the integrity of their IPs when making games, but then can't seem to let go of wanting to make live service slop either.

Guess we can see more games coming to Netflix as well.

But they won't get to take DC Comics or any of the other IP with them.

My hope is Netflix will let people that love the comics, the characters, the movies, and the books, make the games. Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights are examples of not understanding the fandom. Hogwarts is a great example of what happens when they do. I want more of that.

While they are at it, make a great Superman game. I played the crap out of the 360 game. It was not well received, but it has some bright spots that kept me playing. Flying was great, and for the hardware, visually impressive. Maxing out his powers and combat moves was gratifying. Quickly figuring out which ones worked on which enemies, and putting together the best combos. The rest of the game, from story to grinding, was where it sucked most of the fun out. Started out with a great boss battle, then rarely hit that high point again.

I liked that they fixed the incredibly frustrating flying through rings challenges from the N64? version. I remember AVGN ranting about how bad it was. On the 360 version, I was able to beat all of them. A few were definitely challenging, but again, flying was fun. I modded GTA4, so my kid could be Iron Man and the Hulk. It made me question why they did not do a game for those characters with that level of open world attention. They could make a banger of a Superman game.
