However, now the head of the company has issued an official denial.WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar wrote a letter to the company’s employees, in which he denied information about the sale of Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment. According to him, the company will remain part of a larger structure and will continue to “involve fans in our brands and franchises through games and other interactive features.”
