In about 5-6 billion years our sun will run out of Hydrogen fuel, and will turn into a red giant, which will make Earth barren and without life.

At that point, the surface of the sun will be beyond Earth's current orbit, and this planet will just be a contaminant in the Sun's composition.

When I look at all the new "apps" I've installed on my phone in the last year, there is only one: the Android port of Balatro.

I suppose AI could give me a fake Balatro, complete with animations and whatnot, but that sounds a lot more resource-intensive than just running reasonably well-written software.

Not really. They're making a co-op squad shooter and calling it "Marathon", because it's the newest trademark Bungie still owned when Sony bought 'em up.

Microsoft/Activision owns Destiny.
Microsoft/343Industries owns Halo.
TakeTwo owns Myth and Oni.

A new Marathon game would resemble Marathon. Halo ODST is the closest thing I've seen to a "new Marathon game" since Marathon Infinity, and I doubt Sony/Bungie's new Marathon will be any closer.

It appears that the assets included the existing service contracts with customers, which included these "lifetime" agreements.

The buyer is telling the customers they failed to do due diligence and didn't know what they were buying. At the same time, they're telling investors they *did* do due diligence, and analyzed the business's last few years of financials. These can't both be true.
