Electronic Arts Will Make ‘Star Wars’ Games In Exclusive Deal, Can’t Be That Bad?

This announcement makes my head hurt.

Do you know Electronic Arts? The company with the talented developers and the dreaded management? The company that was voted worst of the year for the second consecutive time and their CEO resigned? The one that launched SimCity and hasn’t come close to fixing it? Microtransactions? Well, they’ll be the only ones making Star Wars games for a couple years.

Stop Pirating Photoshop And Pay $49.99 Monthly, That’s Adobe’s New Plan For Creative Cloud

It’s how creative how they did it. See? See!

CS out, CC in. No longer the Creative Suite, a big expensive box you pirate pick up from a specialty retailer, Adobe announced today that they’re done with the box strategy; they want to move everything to the cloud. This also means you’ll save money buying Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator and all those other Adobe tools you love. Seriously, it’s true.

FOX Cancels ‘COPS’, Which Goes To Spike TV

What does one do when they come for you?

I didn’t know you could cancel COPS. I thought it was an inexorable institution, a bobbing marker to verify that TV still existed. FOX created the show, arguably the first in the reality TV genre, twenty-five years ago and they’ve produced over nine-hundred episodes of it. Well, FOX is done with that.

Would You Pay $2 A Month For A YouTube Channel? YouTube Thinks You Will

YouTube’s becoming a real business. *sniff*

It wasn’t all that long ago when YouTube sought a bunch of partners to develop original content for them.
