Gaming buyouts keep on happening.

[elcaballero]

Not too familiar with the gaming industry, but is this going to lead to massive spending on development, a la the streaming wars? Or just everything being exclusive?

Its probably because the stock market dipped massively this month so all these companies were at a bargain price. Activision for example was at 90 not long back, then when it dropped to 64 it was snatched right up by microsoft

Streaming wars. Everyone knows that is the future. Xbox Gamepass is a beast and Sony is about to launch their own big streaming service to compete with it.

How 'bout we don't turn the gaming industry into another oligopoly?

I mean there's nothing we can do to change that.

My point is that it feels gross to encourage it. I know we can't exactly stop it.

Marjorie Taylor Green, that nutjob GOP congressperson from Georgia, wants to kick Hollywood out of the state because of the cultural damage they have done. 'We never should have let them in" says Green.

That's brilliant. Let's get rid of a industry that has brough thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in taxes and investments to Georgia.

Of course this is just the latest idiotic statment from Green. Just google her name to see a lot more craziness.

And it's official; Tom Brady announced his retirement this morning.

Interesting thing is in his announcment he did not mention Coach Belichek or the New England Pats, indicating there is still some bad blood between them.

TROY had a lot of ridiculously good looking people in it lol. 

 

It also kept the post-Gladiator sword epic revival going strong until Alexander killed it a few months later.

[filmlover]

Pitt in Troy is definitely the quintessential example of The Body All Men Wish They Had. I was actually thinking not too long ago about what happened to Wolfgang Peterson after that movie failed to live up to massive expectations that were placed upon it pre-release followed by the epic flopping of Poseidon (which reportedly was wrestled away from him in post-production and hacked to death by the studio) seemed to leave him completely disenchanted with the studio system and into retirement. Turns out he actually made a German film in 2016.

 

At least he'll always have The Neverending Story and nobody's ever taking that away from him.

Exclusives, most likely. Every attempt at actually streaming games has been either a side feature, or dead on arrival

This is not LOL, but ROTFLMAO.  

All this does is guarantee that if Marvel Studios does decide to have Gambit in a X Men movie, Tatum won't be playing him.

Give it up, guy, just give it up.
