so i just read about the potential merger between paramount and warner bros. discovery, and honestly, it sounds like a total disaster waiting to happen. it's already pretty bad in the movie and tv industry, but this could make things even worse. basically, if this merger goes through, it would give a huge amount of power to just a few companies, which would be super bad for the industry as a whole.

it's also worth noting that the company behind the merger, skydance, is owned by david ellison, who has some pretty questionable connections. his family is basically buddies with the trump administration, and it's already led to some pretty shady dealings. for example, they paid the president $16 million to settle a lawsuit, and then canceled stephen colbert's late show. it's all justRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
