Warner Bros. Video-Game Division Faces Thin Slate, Leadership Uncertainty and Wonder Woman Issues
In January, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. revealed that David Haddad, head of the struggling video-game division, would be stepping down. To some who worked closely with the veteran executive, the news didn't come as a surprise. Their only question was why it had taken so long.
Warner Bros. Games had just suffered through a dismal year, marked by a $200 million writedown in May on a painful flop, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, followed a few months later by a $100 million writedown due to the failures of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions and the fighting game MultiVersus.
