Why private equity acquisitions like the one that just claimed BioWare are so dreaded

BioWare is just the latest casualty in a long history of private equity carnage. The closure of BioWare has not come as a huge surprise.

Every Marvel Post-Credits Scene That Went Nowhere (So Far)

Marvel Studios has promised a lot in the Multiverse Saga. Here's every post-credits scene from the MCU we still need answers for. Once the Infinity Saga wrapped with 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, Marvel had to find a new central organizing factor, a way to give all the crossovers, cataclysmic conflicts, and multiverse mayhem some meaning.

The more I hear about what BioWare had cooking, the more pissed off I am that we're never going to get it. Electronic Arts shuttered BioWare earlier this week, and that sucked. A concept trailer for the Mass Effect game the studio had in development subsequently leaked, and that made everyone feel even worse because—keeping in mind that it was an early-development concept piece—it looked really good.YouTuber Dantics has now revealed more about what BioWare was actually working on, which he claims to be aware of because he was part of the Mass Effect community council, meaning he "saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development."We haven't directly confirmed Dantics' r
