One of the most interesting things about the move is that they are planning on taking back control of some of the licenses to be utilized to their game division. Specifically licenses like Superman, Batman, Harry Potter and The Sopranos. It'll be interesting to see how EA reacts as Harry Potter in particular has generated a lot of revenue for the company.

Anything is better than EA so thumbs up from me
I sure hope that Warner knows what they are doing and yeh any one these days can do a better job than EA. Until EA quits trying to be everywhere and on everything crippling their resources, then they will continue producing the garbage that the have become known for.
