Modding has a long tradition of being free. Mainly because it’s typically derivative work that can be legally distributed only with the permission of the owners of the actual game. Because of this, modders who try to charge for their work tend to get huge blowback (and, in some cases get themselves a nice cease and…

It would be very much on brand for AMPTP to make a deal with the WGA, but continue to hemorrhage money because they refused to do a deal with SAG.

Prices and budgets are completely in his control. The problem is they’ve avoided having to raise prices via MTX and multiple expansions, and people are starting to get sick of it.

It felt like the show runners had 3 or 4 seasons worth of things they wanted to talk about, but decided to cram them all into 8 episodes. They could have easily kept the original cast/setting, add one or two new characters, and had a much more satisfying season.

“Box office achievement” is a reward unto itself, but sure, go on.

I fail to understand the problem.

Movie releases this week and reviews are still embargoed? That’s highly suspect, and encourages me to skip opening weekend.

“move to Georgia and prepare to run for office.”

“the new season likely won’t hit TV screens until early 2023...”

Is he contractually obligated to do another movie? Because he could just...not.

Maher’s rich. If he were truly worried about the people on his show, he could just pay them. It’s been done before.

Tech bros don’t do paper work.

I guess there are people that care about this, but I can’t imagine why. The whole point of streaming is to watch on your schedule, not the network’s.

Guess they only got 4 episodes in the can before the strike? I wouldn’t hold your breath for the rest of the season.

Good for her, I guess? As long as she chose this and wasn’t forced into it, I guess it’s really none of my business.
