Google is discontinuing Stadia in January, to nobody's surprise...the more pleasant surprise is they're actually refunding all purchases!

Drama over Bayonetta's VA for Bayonetta 3. The former VA claimed she got lowballed, getting an offer of $4k for the entire role, and instead it went to Jennifer Hale. Then it turns out Hellena Taylor got offered $4k a day for 4/5 days, and instead wanted six figures plus residuals, and omitted a lot of pertinent information in what looks like an attempt to stir shit up and burn bridges.
Things like this is what makes it hard to believe a story when its first reported - like was this an actual case of corporate over-reach? Or someone trying to make a fast buck?
At the moment, I'm still holding out between deciding who is telling the truth. For that matter, Bayonetta was never on my list of to-buy games anyway.

Playstation VR2 launches in February with a retail price of $550
What a shame. Another 49 dollars and we could have made 599 US dollar jokes again

IIRC, they are launching a bundle with a game that brings the price upto 599 USD. Does the joke still work?
VR aside, I'm hoping for a price drop + a slim edition of the PS5. As it stands, that console is too big to replace my current PS4. Also, something I'm keeping an eye on - is if the slim edition will make it easy for the end user to replace the CMOS battery on the motherboard - this will help increase the longevity of the system.
Granted, not everyone cares about using a console 10 years down the line .. but I do. And I care about using it offline too.

Yeah. I've said before I intend to wait for a Slim model. Even with supply shortages for the PS5 the last couple of years, I still expect a Slim model to eventually show up. Maybe not 2023 now, but 2024 almost certainly.
I think I recall reading there was only 7(!) PS5 exclusive games, that aren't available on the Series X/S, PS4, or Steam. So no hurry to get one now. I'll definitely get VR2 at some point, but not at that price point.

Now with an actual movie studio attached to the Streets of Rage production! Maybe I should start posting news about this in the movie sub-forum instead of here...

To play the devil's advocate - if you belong (or were employed by) to company-A and was part of the team that did negotiations to work with company-B. Is it really insider trading, if you bought shares of company-B before any public announcements?
Feels more like a conflict of interest issue than insider trading to me.
