Added 2022-12-15 22:19:34 +0000 UTC

Embracer Group has acquired Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics. The company also owns the worldwide exclusive rights to elements of The Hobbit and Lord of the rings. We speculate what Embracer Group is up to. The latest Framework modular laptop, that lets you swap out components and ports like a desktop PC, has received positive reviews while Dell continues to tease with its modular laptop concept. The ad-supported tier of Netflix isn’t providing enough of an audience for advertisers. Is this a problem only for Netflix or are other ad-supporter streaming services experiencing this too?
