Battlefield Studios quickly reverted a change that lowered ticket counts in Conquest mode after less than 48 hours, returning to 1000 tickets per side to improve match pacing, following player feedback. The game also plans to address XP exploits and improve progression, with Season 1 launching on October 28 alongside rumors of a battle royale mode. Battlefield 6 achieved a record-breaking launch with over 7 million copies sold.
An arbitrator awarded Netflix $8.8 million in damages from director Carl Erik Rinsch over the failed development of the TV series "Conquest." Rinsch, who sold the show to Netflix in 2018 but never delivered any episodes, was found to have misused production funds on personal luxuries. The ruling also granted Netflix control over the footage of the series.
Director Carl Erik Rinsch reportedly mismanaged the $55 million budget given to him by Netflix for the sci-fi series Conquest, blowing $10.5 million on stocks and losing $5.9 million. He then invested $4 million in Dogecoin, turning it into nearly £27 million, and spent $8.7 million on sports cars and designer goods. Rinsch's purchases included a new Ferrari and five Rolls Royces. Netflix has canceled the series and is now in a confidential arbitration with Rinsch, who claims the streaming giant owes him $14 million in damages for breach of contract.
Netflix spent over $55 million on a sci-fi series called "Conquest" by director Carl Erik Rinsch, but never received a single finished episode. After winning a competitive auction, Netflix gave Rinsch near-total budgetary and creative control, including final cut privileges. However, Rinsch's behavior grew erratic, with claims of discovering Covid-19's secret transmission mechanism and predicting lightning strikes. He also gambled millions of dollars from Netflix on the stock market and cryptocurrencies, and spent lavishly on luxury cars, furniture, and designer clothing. Rinsch and Netflix are now in a confidential arbitration proceeding, with Rinsch claiming breach of contract and demanding $14 million in damages, while Netflix denies owing him anything. This costly fiasco comes at a time when Hollywood is under pressure to cut back on spending and focus on profitability.
