To suggest that this is WBD giving up is to imply they’d been trying in the first place.

This is the consequence of a series of half-hearted commitments and half-assed efforts. In it’s 100th anniversary, Warner Bros. is becoming like MGM, a shell of its former self. It will soon be sold off, hopefully whole, but possibly for parts.
Somehow the Hollywood press continues to give Zaslav a pass - I’m beginning to think John Malone has buddies at Penske Media that keep tilting the reporting favorably for WBD. But history will look unfavorably on the leadership of Warner Bros. from Steve Case, to John Stankey, to David Zaslav, with a few people along the way who fought and bled for this company but were discarded disgracefully.
Sure, it’s just rumors that HBO is going to license some content to Netflix. But what this says is “We don’t know any more. We give up. Just give us some money.”
