PlayStation’s boss says the Game Pass model ‘doesn’t make any sense’ for Sony

Hogwarts Legacy has been in the works for years, with plot details and even some footage leaking out during focus group sessions back in 2018. As one of the few people who didn’t particularly love the Harry Potter films, I’ll easily concede that the world-building in the books and movies is spectacular, so the notion of immersing myself in a video game that’s set in Hogwarts and the surrounding areas sounds much more appealing to me than watching any Fantastic Beasts movies.
...
Here’s the official synopsis for the game:

Experience a new story set at Hogwarts in the 1800s. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. Make allies, battle Dark wizards and decide the fate of the wizarding world.

Supermassive Games' Until Dawn was a great horror game that mixed adventure and horror with a cinematic approach to storytelling, and it was a hit.

Now, the next entry in the horror franchise is coming up in just a few months.

Naughty Dog's sequel The Last of Us: Part II is built on a high level of detail baked into every scene, as revealed by concept artist Danar Worya.

Proposal would have seen year-to-year increases of over 100% for some execs.

A significant majority of Electronic Arts shareholders voted against the company's executive compensation plans late last week. The vote follows a pressure campaign from activist investor groups against what they see as excessive bonuses for executives at the company.
...
So-called "say-on-pay" votes rarely fail when put before shareholders of major publicly held companies; a recent Harvard Business School study showed well below 3 percent of such votes failing in the last decade or so. And while the results of the vote aren't binding on the company's board of directors, they would have to overrule a full 68 percent of the company's voting shares that rejected the pay plan.

The rejected payment plan included a proposed $21.37 million in total compensation for CEO Andrew Wilson in the 2020 fiscal year, up from $18.3 million in 2019. Other executives were set to see much larger bumps, including CFO Blake Jorgensen ($9.41 million in 2019 to $19.5 million in 2020) and Chief Studios Officer Laura Miele ($6.95 million to $16.1 million), and CTO Kenneth Moss ($6.95 million to $14.2 million).

An assortment of investor groups rallied against EA's proposed compensation plan ahead of the vote, including influential proxy vote advisors Institutional Shareholder Services and union-affiliated CtW Investment Group. Public employee retirement funds in New York and California followed those groups' lead in voting against the proposal, helping lead to its defeat.

"Shareholders issued a resounding rebuke of Electronic Arts’ deeply flawed executive pay practices that does not incentivize executives to create long-term value," CtW Executive Director Dieter Waizenegger said in a statement. "This vote is a clarion call for the board to stop piling awards on top of awards for top executives and make sure that the company develops a pay philosophy that is focused on talent development and retention throughout all levels of the company."
