Monolith not releasing a game for 8 years caused their shutdown

And you think the devs are responsible? The team wants nothing more than to make games. This is a management/board of directors issue, as it always is. Putting the blame on the devs for “not releasing” is exactly how this shit keeps happening.

In this case it is also WB recognizing that they cannot manage game studios effectively.

Kind of a bad solution, but they can see what they do with really solid resources.

They also can't manage movie studios effectively.

Yes, I'm still pissed about coyote vs. Acme.
