Uhhhh, so that means someone just didn't finish the old TPS reports on time mmmmkay
NEW: Ubisoft has not been sold, nor has it collapsed.
The week-long delay in its corporate earnings, the subject of much speculation, was due to--are you sitting down?-- financial reporting technicalities regarding two unspecified partnerships.

Speculation around Ubisoft earnings delay proves unfounded
It was an accounting issue involving new auditors and the reporting of revenue from two unspecified partnerships, the company said.

What happened to Unknown Worlds by Krafton corporate bean counters was deeply depressing.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

This is transparent politicking.
The two of them are blaming technology when they just wanted to position themselves as being able to either vote No for the budget (as they did), or vote yes and say: "Canadians don't want an election right now" and save face.

Trump against demonstrating his own personal desire to murder journalists with no discretion.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

One of the things I hate about the western wrestling scene is how much they low-key disrespect other countries and territories. Mone is doing some wild work with indies, and that you have no idea there's a Malaysian Pro Wrestling scene with women speaks more to your ignorance than hers.
