Cliff Bleszinski Says He Made LawBreakers Too "Woke"

Cliff Bleszinski struck gold with the Gears of War franchise, but his first game after leaving developer Epic--the team-based shooter LawBreakers --was not a success. That game, and developer Boss Key's battle royale follow-up Radical heights , failed to find an audience . And in turn, Boss Key closed its doors and Bleszinski left the gaming world. Bleszinski is now taking time to reflect. He said in post on Instagram that lately he's been thinking about what he could have done differently with Boss Key. Easy ideas might have been to "pivot hard" when Blizzard's own team-based shooter, Overwatch , was announced, or he could have been "more of a dictator" with his ideas for LawBreakers, he remarked. But perhaps a bigger revelation for Bleszinski was that he regrets getting political. He said he wishes he let LawBreakers speak for itself instead of being the "white dude [who] shoehorns diversity in his game and then smells his own smug farts in in

Here's How Many People Have Signed Up For Disney Plus

Disney+ got off to a very strong start following its release in November. Disney reported today that the streaming service had 26.5 million paying subscribers as of December 28, 2019, and a total of 28.6 million as of February 3. "The launch of Disney+ has been enormously successful, exceeding even our greatest expectations," Disney CEO Bob Iger said on the company's earnings call, according to The Hollywood Reporter . Analysts anticipated subscribers to reach up to 25 million for the period, so the numbers are ahead of expectations. Disney+ costs $7-per-month in the United States, which is below the monthly cost of a Netflix subscription. The average revenue per Disney+ subscriber for the period was $5.56. Driving that figure down were a number of promotions, including free Disney+ for Verizon users and pre-sale bundles that offered discounted rates for those who sign up for three years . According to Iger, 20 percent of Disney+ users came to the platform from the V

How Much Money Birds Of Prey Is Expected To Make In First Weekend

DC's next big comic book movie, Birds of Prey, comes to theatres this weekend. It's expected to have a huge opening at the box office, where it's projected to pull in between $110 million-$125 million globally for the three-day weekend, according to Deadline . The movie was produced on a $97.1 million budget, which drops to $84.5 million after California's tax credits, so Deadline estimates it won't have trouble turning a profit. Birds of Prey is a spin-off of Suicide Squad. That movie made $133.3 million over its opening weekend back in 2016. One important distinction between the two is that Suicide Squad released during the summer, while Birds of Prey is premiering in February. Early social media commentary on Birds of Prey has been overwhelmingly positive . Official reviews will start to appear on Wednesday, February 5, so keep checking back for more. Margot Robbie stars as Harley Quinn, alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as B
