Kinda funny how much media is out there warning about the folly of allowing this kind of mega conglomeration, yet we're still gonna just do it anyway

Line. Go. Up.

Democrats are too chicken shit to go breaking up monopolies, republicans have sold their souls to corporations so why wouldn't you, as a corporation, try to buy up everything you can while no one is there to stop you.

FTC got started on it under Biden

You think this started recently? Or is that just what you have to say.

Why start making good decisions now?

[-] remon@ani.social 34 points 1 week ago

Didn't the Saudis just buy that?

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago

"Saudis consider buying Netflix"

Yes it's called money laundering.

I mean why not? EA has already enshittified itself years ago, it would have saved netflix the trouble of doing it themselves.

No more FemShep on Liara action, that's banned now. Future ME games will only feature the Quarrians, because they are already "veiled".

I wish they would take Madden away from EA every single year its a pile on garbage

How long until the Saudis buy Netflix?

[-] calliope@retrolemmy.com 14 points 1 week ago

This is starting to feel like advertising for Netflix.

Even before they bought one of the most passed-around media companies (Warner was owned by AOL, for god’s sake), the media wouldn’t shut up about the possibility of Netflix owning things.

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

You are confusing WarnerMedia with Warner Bros. Warner Bros. is the movie studio, WarnerMedia is the now defunct remains of AOL TimeWarner that was bought and then disseminated by AT&T.

I’m not sure I follow.

WarnerMedia owned Warner Bros from 1990-2022. WarnerMedia was called WarnerMedia because they owned Warner Bros.

It’s the same company, since the 1970s. Kinney Corporation merged with Warner to become Warner Communications. They owned… Warner Bros.

Warner Communications became WarnerMedia. They owned Warner Bros. Source.

In 1990, they merged with Time and became Time Warner. And so on. Again, it was called AOL Time Warner because they owned Warner Bros.

You can also see it on the Warner Bros. page under “parent”

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Warner merged with AOL, so you meant Warner Bros was owned by AOL not Warner. That’s what I was trying to point out.

[-] calliope@retrolemmy.com 4 points 1 week ago

Ah got it!

It’s honestly crazy how many companies it’s been attached to

Hey Netflix, if you have so much money to burn, stop being so evil.

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

But, line must go up, at any cost.
