Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly planning to split itself in half, that is cut the company down the middle into 2 companies, one side being its digital streaming and studio business and the other all its legacy cable media and networks.

According to a report from Financial Times, chief executive officer David Zaslav and his merry men have drafted up multiple strategies for how it would go about this change, though WBD has yet to comment on the story.

Part of these options, also according to the report is potentially selling off or merging the companies existing assets with interested third-parties, though the report is also clear that there is still a chance WBD continues as is, without any of these major changes.

If these changes do come, then there’s no telling what’ll happen to WB’s game studios. Especially if the change isn’t just WB selling off a few assets, but actually splitting the company could also mean more layoffs, which no one wants to see.
