Henry Cavill Leaves The Witcher Cast
The actor behind Geralt of Rivia in the popular series The Witcher, Henry Cavill, is going to be leaving the show starting with Season 4, replaced by Liam Hemsworth. “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4," Cavill said about the change. "In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam's take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men. Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find.” Somehow this feels like the end of an era.
Xbox Executive Phil Spencer Calls Scrutiny Of Activision Blizzard Deal "Fair And Warranted"
Phil Spencer seems to agree with some of his critics that all of the scrutiny surrounding the upcoming merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard is in fact “fair and warranted.” The executive described how the “discussions have been very fair and honest. It is a big acquisition. There’s no doubt. Microsoft in its role in the tech industry is a large tech company and I do think the discussion around an acquisition of this size is warranted and I’ve appreciated the time to go spend.” Spencer added that “we’re really focused on getting the deal approved in the markets. I’m confident in that. I was just in London last week and continue to have discussions with all the regulatory boards and remain confident that we’ll get the deal approved.” Sounds like the deal is going on full speed ahead.
