A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes: A “What If?” Ponder About Snow White’s Massive Fail by LW Ghost

When Pro contacted me about being on The Pro Show this week (which as you read this you know I happily agreed to do), I innocently asked him “So what’s up?” and what I meant by that was “Hey, we KNOW the stockholder call was garbage, we KNOW Snow White is a goner, so is there any NEW outrageous dumbness from the Mouse coming up?”

But before we move on from here, I thought maybe, just maybe, you’d not be utterly surfeited (is that a word?) with the no-business-like-Snow-business story to join me on a little journey into the “What if?” universe and consider what could have been (and this is NOT yet another review of the awful film because I famously HATE reviews that tell you what the reviewer WOULD have made instead of dealing with what is there on the screen).

Ubisoft Forms €4 Billion Gaming Subsidiary With Chinese Tech Giant Tencent for Major IPs Like Assassin’s Creed Amid Reported Financial Devastation

Ubisoft Forms €4 Billion Gaming Subsidiary With Chinese Tech Giant Tencent for Major IPs Like Assassin’s Creed Amid Reported Financial Devastation

Ubisoft is hemorrhaging money. That much has been clear since the release of its catastrophic Q3 FY25 earnings report, which revealed a company in freefall. Net bookings plunged 51.8% year-over-year in Q3 alone. Digital bookings fell 33.8%. Player recurring investment—the bread and butter of live-service games—dropped 33.7%. And the company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio now sits at a nightmarish -21.1x, suggesting Ubisoft is losing money at a rate that makes its financial model unsustainable even before taxes, interest, or amortization are factored in.

So when Ubisoft suddenly announced this week that it had created a new gaming subsidiary—backed by a €1.16 billion ($1.25 billion) investment from Chinese tech giant Tencent—investors were understandably confused. Why would a company circling the drain be launching bold new ventures?

CNN Blames Gamergate for the State of the Modern Online World in Wild Historical Rewrite Propoganda Hit Piece Against Gamers

CNN wants you to believe that a 2014 online movement over video game journalism is responsible for virtually every controversy of the last decade. In its latest attempt to revise history, CNN frames Gamergate not as a call for transparency in media, but as the spark that supposedly ignited a digital wildfire engulfing everything from social platforms to political movements.

Media Touts Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a Success — It’s Not

Media Touts Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a Success — It’s Not

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has finally released, and one might naively assume Ubisoft’s woes are over. Surely, with their self-proclaimed “reputable” marketing and unwavering dedication to historical authenticity, this game will sell like cold lemonade in the desert.

After all, the delays—costing a rumored $20 million—were supposedly to address every issue raised by fans and the barrage of bad press, right?

Sweet Baby Inc. Boss Kim Belair Thinks AI Should Prioritize ‘Empathy and Inclusion’ Over Profit in Gaming as Her Games Keep Flopping

Just when you thought Sweet Baby Inc. couldn’t get any more ridiculous, their CEO Kim Belair has once again proven that there is no bottom to the progressive virtue-signaling rabbit hole. During GDC 2025, as pointed out on X by MasterOfTheTDS of Gothic Therapy (often first to the plate when it comes to reporting on Belair and SBI), Belair delivered this doozy of a statement.

Hollywood Execs Attend Artificial Intelligence Screenings and Traditional Media Is Freaking Out Over It Amidst Hollywood AI Panic

We’re not far away from a time when artificial intelligence is a key component of nearly any video generated for commercial and personal use. Already, YouTube is flooded with content created by Sora, Claude and other video generative programs. Sure, some of them are very amateur, but in the right hands… they’re remarkably realistic and beautiful. Like when Photoshop changed photography forever, video is preparing for its paradigm shift into a completely new world.

Universal Epic Universe Team Member Previews Infiltrated by Influencers Undermining the Unfinished Park’s Opening With Premature Reporting

Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe theme park is one of the most ambitious projects in theme park history, promising to reshape the entire Orlando tourism landscape.

These previews are not only a reward for the hardworking employees who make the parks run smoothly but are also part of crucial technical rehearsals. Attractions are tested, operations are fine-tuned, and the overall guest experience is polished before the gates officially open to the public.
