Star Trek: Discovery Is the Most Talked-About Show Online

The debut season of Star Trek: Discovery has wrapped up, and despite the stellar line-up of shows that have aired alongside it, CBS’ Discovery is the most talked about TV show online last month, beating out the likes of The Walking Dead, Altered Carbon, and Stranger Things.

Parrot Analytics (via Comicbook.com) reports that the “demand expressions” for Discovery – the amount of discussion about it on social media – rose from 53 million last month, to 66 million this week. The season one finale airing earlier this week most likely gave the numbers a boost, especially considering that surprise ending.

Sony Was Once Offered the Movie Rights to Nearly All of Marvel’s Heroes

If you’ve managed to keep up with the buying-and-selling of the movie rights to Marvel’s stable of superheroes, you’ll know that Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man, but it turns out that it could have owned the whole shebang in a proposed deal 20 years ago – that it turned down.

The Big Picture: The Fight for the Future of Movies – an upcoming book by Ben Fritz – recounts the moment in 1998 (via io9) when a Sony executive apparently stated that “nobody gives a s**t about any of the other Marvel characters. Go back and do a deal for only Spider-Man.”

Opinion: Asmodee Has Become the Disney of Board Games

On February 9, 2018, board game publisher Mayfair Games closed its doors after 36 years. After the decision was made, Mayfair reached out to another board game publisher, Asmodee, with the opportunity to purchase all of Mayfair’s titles as well as their subsidiaries Lookout Games and GmbH. Asmodee spent the money and now owns everything left of Mayfair. I say “left” because in 2016 Asmodee bought all english version rights to Mayfair’s biggest title, Settlers of Catan. Now, just 2 short years later, Mayfair is closing and Asmodee owns all the assets. As an isolated incident, this seems like an unfortunate series of events, but with context to Asmodee’s actions throughout recent years, this may be pointing towards a much more concerning issue.

PUBG’s Anti-Cheat Company Says 99% of Banned Accounts From China

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ problem with cheaters has been a major issue for the game, and recent data from the company’s anti-cheat tech provider, BattlEye indicates that 99% of accounts that have been banned for cheating are from China.

Youxi Story reports the statistic, adding that 46% of PUBG’s total players are based in China. It makes the problem a significant one in PUBG’s most important territory.

One million accounts were banned for cheating in January, with BattlEye saying that “things continue to escalate” in spite of this.

Persona Series Getting an Official App

The Persona Series is set to receive an official companion app in Japan.

According to Siliconera, Persona O.A. will be a “support app” containing news and updates about the series as well as a built-in exploration game. It’s not yet clear if the app will head west.

From the rough translation, it looks like fans will be able to explore the Mementos palace from Persona 5, earning items and “Persona Points” to summon more characters in the Velvet Room.

“Conversation events” will also occur, where a character from the game will appear and provide dialogue if you engage and attempt to raise your social link with them.

New Game From Deadly Premonition Director Coming This Year

Deadly Premonition director, Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, has announced a new game from his studio White Owl, in association with Dragon Ball FighterZ studio Arc System Works. The Missing is scheduled for release later this year, and will “blow your mind.”

“The title ‘The Missing’ has many different meanings,” says Swery. “A missing person, someone who’s lost, or even something lost. Maybe it’s your loved one… or a place you belong. Do you ever feel lost in your everyday life? The Missing is for someone like you.”

The Missing will be the first game White Owl has produced in-house, following a failed crowdfunding campaign for his RPG The Good Life, which was announced last year, set in an English town where all of the residents become cats at night.
