Star Wars marketing for Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is in full swing!! Or is it?

What does Bob Iger have to say about the initial purchase of assets from George Lucas and why is he saying it now?

Why do acquirer's purchase things they don't want from founders?

What does non-disparagement have to do with any of this?

And who's excited for the next installment of the..."saga"?!

Non-disparagement means "Don't look at the comments!"...in Virtual Legality.

The epilogue to the Infinity Saga is as much teen romantic comedy as superhero film, but is it any good at being either?

Spider-Man: Far From Home!

Is Italian publisher Bending Spoons Apps IVS' really buying up exclusive licenses to award-winning apps (like Wonder Blade, Crashlands, and Fowlst) only to put them behind the paywall of its subscription service Playond?

Even going so far as to limit access from prior purchasers?

If so, what do the Apple terms of service have to say about the practice?

What can be done by consumers looking to access the games they'd purchased?

And does it make sense to complain about such behavior? On the part of Apple? The publisher? The developers who "sold out"?
