Market circumstances are right for Warner Bros. to become a bigger player.Mobile games market will become increasingly competitive.

Continued and meaningful consolidation is expected.WHY ITS GOOD TO ALIGN WITH MARKET LEADER.

Market will become increasingly competitiveMedia companies and leading console publishers will get more aggressive, competing against smaller, more nimble venture backed playersPush towards mid-core and f2p resulting in crowded field

Costs will continue to rise driving the importance of brandsRequirements for development talent and rising production values will push development costs higherDiscovery challenges will drive marketing expenses and the need for strong brandsLive, connected, multiplayer experiences will significantly increase publishing and operating costs

Continued and meaningful consolidation is expectedSmaller, less well-funded competitors will drop out of the marketWestern and Asian leaders will attempt to grow in each others respective markets, mostly via acquisition
