- Likely scenarios:
- Mixed ecosystem: It's probable we'll see a mix of independent studios, tech-owned studios, and hybrid models.
- Selective acquisitions: Tech companies might acquire smaller or struggling studios rather than major ones.
- Strategic partnerships: Instead of full acquisitions, we may see more strategic partnerships and content deals.
- Studio-specific outlook:
- Larger studios like Disney, Universal (Comcast), and Warner Bros. Discovery are more likely to remain independent or part of media conglomerates.
- Smaller or mid-sized studios might be more vulnerable to acquisition.
