Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros. for $82.7 Billion

[Danieru-Emanyueru]

Man, what's going on here this week, that's the next thread that somehow ends in an argument. That definitely has everything to do with this Christmas time.

Does that mean Bugs Bunny is now a Gay woman?

Ugh. What a blunder.

Positives for Netflix: made a few really good shows.

Negatives for Netflix: made even more really awful shows.

 

[Bomberman]

Now they might gut Gunn's DC universe and axe physical media sales... :(

 

[Bakuma1997]

Ugh. What a blunder.

Positives for Netflix: made a few really good shows.

Negatives for Netflix: made even more really awful shows.

Counter to the positive: Cancel really good shows

Yeah, anything can happen now, really.

For once it isn't Disney, I guess.

Sweetie, Bugs Bunny has been a drag queen since about the 1940s... it won't be a big change for him.

And may as well chime in on this, it was bound to happen, as @Waffles said, they were bleeding money like a gutted cow, Or that's about the gist of it. This at least kind of keeps the franchises in-house under one parent studio.

Does it suck?

Yes, I abhor Netflix and how they majorly screw things over (cough live-action Bebop cough) but at the end of the day, what can you do aside from unsubscribe to them? Hell, it would be the same story if Disney or any of the others bought them. To quote Chester Bennington "In the end, it doesn't even matter" Yes, prices will jump due to them dumping that exorbitant amount of cash in the buyout, but look at it this way... you may get some new shows out of it, you might get that crossover you always wanted...

And your favorite series will probably be sunk worse than a submarine with a screen door.

Doesn't bother me really, I mean do people even like any of these IP's currently? I mean most people who liked Batman or Mortal Kombat wouldn't be buying whatever they are spewing currently.

Honestly, I haven't bought an MK game since MK Komplete Kollection on the 360, and I'm meh.. so-so on Batman. I stopped caring about Batman after TAS went off the air.

So probably not, Nebby.

There's also the fact that WB have been shopping around their IPs to various companies. Maybe we'll get a F.E.A.R. remaster from Night Dive or something.

If they do make something good, ill just tread the seas like i always do.

So not only will Netflix become even more expensive, and All Elite Wrestling will have to search for a new streaming partner since Netflix is a WWE partner, but Netflix will own the gaming division including Mortal Kombat, the Batman Arkham universe, Hogwart's, etc.

This sucks. Netflix sucks.

This sounds insane to me, I always forget Netflix has THAT much money...

BTW fuck Netflix

 

[Zerpina]

Yeah, it is too bad what companies like Netflix and Disney are doing. Don't fall under The Antitrust Laws.
(Google them if you want a full read-up)

TLDR: If companies are colluding (like secretly agreeing on prices) or merging in a way that crushes competition, the DOJ and FTC step in to protect the market and, ultimately, your wallet.
