gordonangela+FollowParamount’s $30 Offer? Warner Bros. Says NopeSo, Warner Bros. Discovery is basically the hot item at the Hollywood yard sale right now. Paramount just tried to win them over with a $30-per-share offer, but 93% of Warner’s shareholders weren’t having it. This is the ninth time Paramount’s tried—and failed. Looks like Netflix is still the favorite to take Warner home. If you’re holding stock, keep your popcorn handy—this drama isn’t over yet! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #WarnerBrosDiscovery00Share
Vanessa Brown+FollowPayday 3 Drama: Why Gamers Are Jumping ShipStarbreeze, the studio behind Payday 3, just hit the layoff button again—just three months after their last round.

For gamers, this means fewer updates and more uncertainty, so maybe stick with the classics for now. It’s a reminder: sometimes, the sequel isn’t always better for your wallet or your fun. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Payday300Share
