CEO David Zaslav indicated that Warner Bros. Discovery's gaming division is "underperforming its potential," emphasizing the need for more consistent releases to improve performance.
CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels stated that a total writedown of over $300 million in the games business was attributed to underperforming releases, with MultiVersus significantly contributing to the losses.
Despite the challenges, Warner Bros. Games experienced success with Hogwarts Legacy, a major hit, which sold more than 30 million copies globally and reaffirms the potential for single-player games.
Zaslav pointed out the disparity between the single-player success of Hogwarts Legacy and the disappointments from live-service games like Suicide Squad, advocating for a more focused strategy in the gaming division.
