Entertainment and gaming news mixed corporate power plays with culture-war fallout today. Universal Music’s future is suddenly in focus after Vincent Bolloré publicly urged the company to reject Bill Ackman’s roughly $64 billion takeover approach, arguing the offer undervalues the label giant and hinting that Pershing Square may be the wrong steward for a business built on long horizons. In gaming, CD Projekt Red surprised fans by reviving The Witcher 3 with a new Geralt expansion, Songs of the Past, slated for 2027 as a bridge to the franchise’s next era. Valve, meanwhile, delivered less welcome news, sharply increasing Steam Deck OLED prices as hardware and logistics costs climb. And comedy’s boundaries were back under scrutiny after Kevin Hart defended Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke at his Netflix roast, saying the roast format explains the intent even if the material was not tasteful.
