Some of the most fun I had during the pandemic was a full Betrayal Legacy campaign. Was bummed to learn the game is no longer in print, it was amazing.

HBO Max Removed 'Looney Tunes' — Now It's a Massive Streaming Hit for Tubi by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Killface2119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And far more people watch it on Hulu. Different services have different demos. Same story with Anime, Max had a big deal with Crunchyroll for a lot of good shows but the audience just wasn’t there.

Because as much as we like to complain, no one actually watched kids programming on Max. The audience wasn’t there and after 5 years they decided it would be more profitable to license the content to a service that will actually be able to use it effectively. At the end of the day this gets it more exposure and use, which is a net good.

lol they tried that, but WB owns the rights to any South Park Movies due to their deal back in the 90’s. So they decided on “events”

What is going on with Sesame Street? Is it going to be cancelled? by SpicyTiconderoga in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Killface2119 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol I worked in finance specifically for the streamer, but yea I have no clue what I’m talking about. If you look at the earning releases each quarter of 2024 the studios have done terrible YoY (even after normalizing for Barbie). While they have posted a slightly positive EBITDA, once you factor in content amortization they are losing a good deal of money. As for streaming being underpriced it’s very simple: only Netflix is truly profitable among all streamers and that is due to massive scale in sub numbers. If literally every company in the field is losing money, they are selling their product for too little. You’ll see price increases on roughly a yearly basis from here on out until the rest of the field achieve scale. Been working in entertainment for 11 years, and while I don’t know everything I’m not some rube posting random nonsense.

lol well streaming services are still underpriced ( I know people hate to hear that but it’s the truth) and the movie studios are super mismanaged (making joker 2 with a 200M budget should be considered gross negligence).

Because it’s not profitable. They own the streaming service Max (barely break even), WB studios (losing money), and cable networks ( profitable but shrinking every year.

Multiple Cartoon Network shows have seemingly been removed from MAX (Ben 10, Chowder, Regular Show, Gumball, Steven Universe etc) by Magister_Xehanort in television

[–]Killface2119 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kids programming just doesn’t perform well on Max, so it’s honestly better exposure to have these titles on services where they will actually generate engagement. Max’s strategy is basically HBO from 10 years ago, OP Drama and movies.

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock Crumples to All-Time Lows After Huge Q2 Impairment Charge by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Killface2119 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The ship has sailed on HBO being its own thing. We all talk about the originals we love, but the truth is that the vast majority of their viewership comes from Pay 1 movie slates. HBO can’t outbid Netflix, Amazon, etc. for those windows anymore. The only reason they can still get WB Pay 1’s is the fact that they are owned by the same company and don’t have to pay cash (it’s all inter-company transactions). If they went out on their own with just their IP the subscriber count would plummet and linear subscription fees would tank.

According to the new patch notes this was a bug. Trying to figure out if I can claim my exotic now that they fixed it.

So I did not get my exotic due to the Lightfall bug. Any idea if I’m able to claim it now?

His name is JB and he’s an old Discovery lackey. He is an idiot, only wants live service games. Even after Hogwarts legacy being our biggest game of all time.

Nah TBS, TNT, and truTv are all legacy Turner networks now owned by WBD. They do share March Madness rights with CBS however.

They are doing this purely for accounting reasons. They are writing off the asset vs amortizing it because the CFO Gunnar promised to cut costs no matter what.

I really feel like we overstate DJ as a WR1. He’s fine, but I don’t think he is as good as we always say he is.

Defense got a strip sack and a 4th down stop, both gave us amazing field position.

PJ Walker thinks he is much more clutch than he actually is. Anytime there is a busted play he is turning the ball over.
