Take-Two Interactive (owner of Rockstar Games, which publishes GTA) is downplaying their DEI initiatives to investors, but does that mean they're really DONE with DEI? Clearly, it's no longer "fashionable" or even "cool" to loudly shout your support for DEI -- and yeah, it's even illegal in some cases (if you're deliberately excluding someone based on race or gender.)

Voters are going to the polls in Australia to choose their next government following a hard-fought campaign during which living costs, climate concerns and the impact of Donald Trump's trade tariffs have featured strongly. Shares of Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, tumbled by as much as 8% on Friday morning after it announced that it has delayed the launch by a year – to May 26, 2026. With the company being valued at around 40 billion US dollars, that is a lot of money being shaved off. The U.S. President Donald Trump repeated that he will revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status, saying that "We are going to be taking away Harvard's tax-exempt status. It's what they deserve!" Harvard, which is already suing the Trump administration, said that this is unlawful. And Skype Will Shut Down on Monday, May 5, As Microsoft Shifts to Teams. Davina Gupta will hear from one of the creators of the Skype ringtone. Throughout the programme, we'll be joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world – Peter Ryan, ABC's senior business correspondent who is in Australia, and Diane Brady, Executive Director of Fortune Live Media and Editorial Director of the Fortune CEO Initiative.

Should the United States delist Chinese stocks? At first thought with all the craziness of the trade war it sounds like delisting all the Chinese companies from the American stock markets may be a good idea. It is important to know that there are 286 Chinese companies listed on major US stock exchanges. You'll recognize some of the names like Alibaba, Baidu and JD.com. It is estimated by analysts at Goldman Sachs that US institutional investors currently own about $830 billion worth of Chinese stocks. That is more than two times what the Chinese own of US stocks as that is estimated around $370 billion. But a quick sell off could bring down stock valuations and make it difficult to get out of many of these stocks on both sides. An important piece of information I brought up a couple years ago was the Accountable Act which came to be in 2020. This allows the Securities Exchange Commission to ban foreign companies from trading if American regulators are not allowed to inspect the auditors for three years in a row. I always worry about Chinese companies because of what I call government accounting. They are not held to the same accounting standards there and I believe companies may list financial statements based on what the government tells them. There have been some Chinese companies that delisted themselves rather than going through an audit. I think that tells you quite a bit. My feeling is we should not delist all the Chinese stocks that trade on American stock exchanges under what is known as ADRs, but be sure that the Chinese companies have the same transparency as American companies when it comes to their financial statements. If we can't get that transparency, then those companies should be delisted.    Jobs report shows more evidence the economy is in good shape US nonfarm payrolls grew by 177k in the month of April, which easily topped the estimate of 133k. Jobs remained robust in health care as the sector added 51k jobs in the month of April and employment in transportation and warehousing and financial activities was also strong as the groups added 29k and 14k jobs respectively in the month. Other categories like construction, manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, and retail trade saw little or no change in payrolls, while government declined by 9k jobs in the month. Government jobs are now down by 26k since January, but remember employees on paid leave or receiving ongoing severance pay are still counted as employed. This likely means we will continue to see losses accelerate in this category as the year continues. Negatives in the report included the fact that employment numbers were revised down by a total of 58k in the previous two months. Also, April's reading was lighter than March's reading of 185k, but considering the unemployment rate remains at 4.2%, I still see these jobs gains as impressive, especially with all the negativity that people have been discussing. With that said, I still do anticipate weaker numbers in terms of the payroll additions in future months, but if the unemployment rate remains low I don't see that as a problem. On the inflation front, we also got good news with average hourly earnings rising just 3.8%. I see this as a healthy increase that does not put pressure on inflation like when wages were growing over 5% in 2022.     Job openings look problematic on the surface In the March Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, job openings totaled 7.2 million. This was below February's reading of 7.5 million and the estimate, which also stood at 7.5 million. This is still not super concerning to me. We tend to forget how strong the labor market has been and while we continue to see a softening, there is plenty of room before I see cause for concern. Just for reference, job openings in 2019 averaged approximately 7.2 million, in 2018 they averaged approximately 6.8 million, and in 2017 they averaged approximately 6.2 million. Compare that to where we are today and that should give you more comfort. Another area I saw as positive in the report was the fact that quits totaled 3.3 million, which produced a quit rate of 2.1%. This is important because if people were truly concerned about a major slowdown and thought they would not be able to find work elsewhere, I don't believe they would be quitting their jobs. These quit numbers are still quite close to 2019 levels, which many considered as a very strong economy. That year quits averaged approximately 3.5 million and there was an average quit rate of about 2.3%. Also in the report, we saw layoffs remained quite low at 1.6 million. Back in 2019, layoffs averaged around 1.8 million per month. There is no doubt that uncertainty remains and that will have some impact on businesses and their hiring plans, but in terms of it pushing the economy into a major recession, since we are coming from such a healthy level, I just don't see that happening.   Are we in the middle of a recession? The first reading of Q1 GDP showed a decrease of 0.3%. A recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of declining GDP, so some may argue we are half way there. Let us not forget in 2022 we did see two consecutive quarters of declining GDP as Q1 declined 1.4% and Q2 showed an advance estimate that was down 0.9%. After further research the second quarter ended up seeing a total reversal and it is now reported to have actually grown by 0.3%. Even with the difficult start, that year ended with a 2.1% growth rate. We also can't forget that the National Bureau of Economy Research (NBER) makes the official call on recession and they use a broader set of indicators that led them not to declare a recession in 2022. I say all of this because I still believe even if we hit a technical recession, if employment remains strong, I don't believe we would have an “official” recession. I am still unsure that we will even see Q2 GDP decline and we could also see revisions to Q1 that lift it to a positive reading. I say this because if you look at the actual underlying numbers in the report, it is not nearly as bad as the headline decline. On the positive front, consumer spending actually grew 1.8% in the quarter as services showed a nice increase of 2.4%. Also, private domestic investment saw a surge of 21.9%, this was led by investments in equipment as they grew 22.5% in the quarter. You might be asking with numbers like these how did we see a negative GDP? To start, government spending fell 1.4% in the quarter. This was led by a decline of 5.1% in spending by the federal government. The group as a whole ended up subtracting 0.25% from the headline GDP number. While this was impactful, the real reason for the decline in GDP was trade. Companies were trying to get ahead of looming tariffs and imports surged 41.3%. This compared to an increase of just 1.8% for exports. The huge discrepancy caused the trade component of GDP to decrease the headline number by 4.83%! While the economy is no doubt digesting these trade conversations and the tariffs, I still believe the economy is in alright shape when you look at the underlying numbers. I did also want to mention more good news on inflation as the March headline PCE showed an increase of 2.3%, which compares to last month's reading of 2.7% and core PCE came in at just 2.6%, which was a nice decline from February's reading of 3.0%. I believe these numbers will likely increase with the tariffs, but underlying inflation looks to be quite healthy.   Financial Planning: Protecting Yourself from Home Title Theft Home title theft is a type of real estate fraud where someone illegally transfers the ownership of your home by forging your name on title documents.  This is often done using stolen personal information to file fraudulent deeds with the county recorder's office. Once the title appears to be in their name, the thief may try to take out loans against the property, sell it to an unsuspecting buyer, or use it in other schemes that could put your home and finances at risk. This crime can go undetected for months if property owners aren't actively monitoring their title.  Having a mortgage or HELOC on your house can make it more difficult for a thief to steal your title since the bank has a lien against the property, but it is still possible. There are private companies that charge monthly fees to alert you of changes to your home title, but they do not prevent the title from being stolen.  You can also purchase home title insurance that will help pay for legal fees if you have to go to court if your title is stolen.  Homeowners in San Diego County can access a free alternative called “Owner Alert”. Jordan Marks who is the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk was behind this, and it is a great benefit that all San Diego property owners should take advantage of.  This service works by notifying you by email whenever a document is recorded against your property, helping you catch potential fraud early.  Signing up is simple and can be done on the San Diego County Assessor's website. You just need your name, email address, and parcel number and it provides the same type of monitoring offered by paid services, making it unnecessary to spend money for peace of mind when this tool is already available for free.   Companies Discussed: Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.

In today's Daily Fix:Borderlands 4 just got a new release date, and it's earlier than expected. Not only is that good news for Borderlands fans, but also Grand Theft Auto 6 fans. GTA 6 does not have a confirmed release date, only a vague "Fall 2025," but with both games falling under the watchful eye of Take-Two Interactive, it could be that Borderlands dev Gearbox may have gotten word internally on GTA 6's release date, and moved accordingly to make room. Could both games be releasing in September? In other release date news, upcoming action soulslike Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has a confirmed release date of July 24th, along with details of its Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonuses. And finally, A Minecraft Movie madness is getting the official okay from Warner Bros., with the studio supporting "Block Party" screenings where viral acts of Chicken Jockey insanity are encouraged.

Coup de tonnerre dans l'industrie du jeu vidéo : Niantic Labs, le studio derrière Pokémon Go, a annoncé la vente de sa division jeux à Scopely, une entreprise appartenant à Savvy Games Group, lui-même détenu par le fonds d'investissement public saoudien (PIF). Montant de la transaction : 3,5 milliards de dollars.Avec cette acquisition, le royaume saoudien s'offre l'un des jeux mobiles les plus rentables du marché. Depuis son lancement en 2016, Pokémon Go n'a cessé d'attirer les foules, comptabilisant encore aujourd'hui 30 millions de joueurs actifs par mois. Une prise de choix pour le PIF, qui poursuit son offensive sur l'industrie du gaming, après des investissements massifs dans Nintendo, Take-Two Interactive et Electronic Arts.Pour Niantic, cette cession marque un tournant stratégique. Le studio, qui n'a jamais réussi à réitérer le succès de Pokémon Go, a connu des années difficiles, ponctuées de licenciements et d'échecs commerciaux, comme la fermeture de Harry Potter: Wizards Unite en 2022. Désormais, l'entreprise se recentre sur les technologies géospatiales et l'intelligence artificielle. Une nouvelle structure, Niantic Spatial, dirigée par son fondateur John Hanke, verra le jour avec un financement de 250 millions de dollars. L'accord ne se limite pas à Pokémon Go. D'autres titres phares comme Monster Hunter Now et Pikmin Bloom rejoindront également le catalogue de Scopely, tout comme les équipes de développement qui les ont créés. Une acquisition qui vient renforcer l'arsenal de Scopely, déjà propriétaire du très lucratif Monopoly Go, qui a généré plus de 3 milliards de dollars de revenus en un an.Au-delà de l'aspect économique, ce rachat illustre l'ambition de l'Arabie Saoudite de diversifier son économie en investissant massivement dans les secteurs du sport et du divertissement. Après avoir misé sur le football, le tennis et la Formule 1, Riyad injecte désormais près de 38 milliards de dollars dans le jeu vidéo. Mais que vont devenir Pokémon Go et sa communauté ? Pas de changement à l'horizon, assure Ed Wu, responsable du jeu chez Niantic : « Nous voulons rendre l'expérience encore meilleure. » De quoi rassurer les dresseurs du monde entier… en attendant de voir si cette nouvelle ère saura tenir ses promesses.

Schaut man sich die unterschiedlichen Sektoren an, die die Rallye angeführt haben, sehen wir eine nahezu genaue Wiederholung in den Tagen nach dem letzten Sieg von Donald Trump. Wie zu erwarten war, sinkt auch die Volatilität deutlich. Im Fokus steht heute die US-Notenbank, die mit einer hohen Wahrscheinlichkeit am Nachmittag die Zinsen um 25 Basispunkte senken wird. Was das nahende Ende der Berichtssaison betrifft, ist das Bild uneinheitlich. Während es bei den Aktien von ARM Holdings, Albermarle, Match Group, SolarEdge und Wolfspeed unter Druck stehen, geht es bei den Aktien von Dutch Brothers, Elf Beauty, Gilead, HubSpot, Moderna, Take-Two Interactive, Lyft und Qualcomm aufwärts.

They touched on Strauss' approach to business and leadership, his origin story – from childhood ambitions of running a movie company and toying with the notion of being a performer to deciding to run a business in the creative space – milestones of his career including greenlighting the movie Dirty Dancing, the ins and outs of the largest industry, in the entertainment world: gaming, his breakdown of AI and its future impact on the workforce, what he's experiencing as a CRE investor, and what to expect in 2025.

Additionally, we discuss Take-Two's cautious approach to re-releases and the potential changes in their strategy following the challenges faced with the GTA Remastered Trilogy.As the only publisher to openly address this issue, Take-Two's admission has significant implications for the gaming industry. We explore the potential impact on other publishers and the future of review bombing. Furthermore, we provide updates on GTA 6's development, including its release date, setting, and upcoming trailer. Finally, we discuss Take-Two's stance on subscription services like Game Pass and the expected record-breaking success of GTA 6.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

After a week that saw some big releases and exciting announcements, we have a week of interesting announcements, and more layoffs, Gearbox is free from Embracer Group, and Phil Spencer has a big interview talking about Xbox. Sean and Marc discuss it all in this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX. Phil Spencer had an interview with Polygon while at the Game Developer's Conference (links further below in the description) where he speaks about all sorts of things including wanting PC storefronts like Epic Games and Itch.io on Xbox, the cost prohibition of exclusives, a potential Xbox handheld, and more! Could this be a potential lifespring for Xbox? Or is this all essentially wish-listing from Phil? Marvel Rivals was suddenly announced and seems to take a lot of its inspiration from Overwatch. With Overwatch 2 in a bad spot, could a game from a big IP like Marvel overtake it and become the Defacto hero shooter? Also, Gearbox is sold to Take-Two Interactive, Resident Evil 9 could be open-world, layoffs at several SEGA European studios, and other places such as Nintendo of America and Certain Affinity.

Last week we were in Boston visting Ghost Story Games where we got to play 5 hours of Judas, followed by a deep-dive interview with legendary creator Ken Levine, whose previous works include Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. This is not a 'preview' - this is a 'pre-preview', in that the game is still very much in development. Our conversation is focused on what Judas is, why it is the way that it is and what Levine and his team are aiming for as they continue development. While we were invited by Ghost Story Games and publisher Take Two Interactive, we paid our own accommodation and airfare costs so as to ensure our editorial independence. Timestamps:00:00 Intro and Impressions32:19 Raycon (ad)34:28 AG1 (ad)36:37 Interview with Ken Levine of Ghost Story Games02:22:40 Wrap Up- Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter:  @JakeBaldino- Lucy James is a Senior Producer at Gamespot and a Creative Producer at Giant Bomb. She's actually, like, experienced and credentialed and has real life skills and stuff, while the rest of the gang would be funemployed if the YT algorithm didn't kiss them for random, inexplicable reasons. - Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he hasn't had a better job since. --Listen to the Friends Per Second Podcast on your favourite podcast platform: https://linktr.ee/friendspersecondFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheFPSPodcastFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/friendspersecond

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber started the show by discussing the S&P crossing 5,000 for the first time, just 3 years after hitting 4,000 back in 2021. The biggest gainers year-to-date on the S&P index include: Nvidia, Meta and Eli Lilly. The anchors then turned to a slew of corporate results, including Pepsi. The beverage and snack maker topped earnings estimates, but quarterly revenue declined YoY for the first time since 2020. Other earnings movers in the mix included Pinterest, Take-Two Interactive and Expedia, all getting crushed on their respective results.  Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

Bitcoin hit $42,000 for the first time in over 19 months; crypto investor and bitcoin bull Anthony Pompliano discusses the asset's rise, regulatory tailwinds for the U.S. crypto companies, and the crypto community's worldview on central banks and stores of value. In a thoughtful discussion, author, Harvard professor, The Atlantic contributing writer and fellow podcaster Arthur Brooks considers the toll America's polarizing political climate is taking on the average citizen's happiness. As tensions rise in Washington and on college campuses, Brooks explains how America's current approach to community hurts us, more than helps. Plus, today's headlines: Moody's cut China's credit outlook, CVS is changing how it prices prescription drugs, Take-Two Interactive's stock tumbled after a trailer of the newest Grand Theft Auto game was leaked on X, and voters are gearing up for another Republican Presidential debate this week.  Arthur Brooks - 12:17Anthony Pompliano - 21:55 In this episode:Arthur Brooks, @arthurbrooksAnthony Pompliano, @APomplianoAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkCameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY
