Channel: Daily Tech News Show
Date: 2021-05-17

AT&T and Discovery have reached an agreement to combine their media divisions into a joint venture to be 71% owned by AT&T and 29% by Discovery. Wired recently featured a piece looking at a number of top gamers quitting full-time esports organizations to pursue careers as influences on Twitch and YouTube. And more on Epic vs Apple as their court case grings on.
