Ah, restructuring. You know, something about the word alone makes me think of a messy desk being rearranged. But okay, let’s dive in.
So, Warner Bros is shuffling things around in their game world. Apparently, they’ve split the gang into squads focusing on DC, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and, oh yeah, Mortal Kombat. It’s like sorting your closet — these shirts go here, those pants go there. Anyway, got sidetracked for a minute. Variety’s the place where I caught all this, spreading the news like hot gossip over coffee.
Yves Lachance — name kinda rolls off the tongue, right? — he’s from Warner Bros Games Montréal and just hit the jackpot, zooming up to SVP of development. His mission? Get cracking on more Harry Potter and Game of Thrones stuff. It’s like he’s got the golden ticket to all things magical and dramatic. Meanwhile, Shaun Himmerick, who runs the show at NetherRealm, is focusing on Mortal Kombat and DC. And, if you’re wondering — I randomly remembered that their fights really remind me of flaming hot dance-offs, for some odd reason. Anyway, moving on — wait, no, let’s pause for a sec. Who comes up with these matchups? Yet here they are!
Oh, and Steven Flenory, the Warner Bros New York guy, he got a new hat too — SVP of central tech and services or something. Titles can feel like alphabet soup — isn’t it all tech these days?
J.B. Perrette — the CEO type — goes on about long-term strategies. And it’s all about delighting us with these iconic games. You know, like when your friend surprises you with pizza, and you didn’t even realize you were starving.
It’s all big-wig talk. Yves, Shaun, and Steven — these guys seem solid, respected. They need to be, right? After all, keeping iconic stuff rolling is no small potato. It’s about making sure fans are glued to their screens, clutching controllers like they’re lifelines. Pretty wild if you ask me.
