Battlefield 6 Reverses Conquest Changes Amid Player Backlash

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.

"47 Ronin Director's Financial Missteps: Stocks and Crypto Drain Netflix Sci-Fi Series Budget"

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.

"The Mysterious Unreleased Netflix Series Worth $55 Million"

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.
