Robinhood Hit With Class Action Lawsuit After Halting GameStop Stock

Stock trading app Robinhood has been hit with a class-action lawsuit after the app announced it will restrict trading on certain stocks including GameStop and AMC. In a suit filed in the Southern District of New York, the Plaintiff claims that Robinhood “purposefully, willfully, and knowingly removing the stock “GME” from its trading platform in the midst of an unprecedented stock rise thereby deprived retail investors of the ability to invest in the open-market and manipulating the open-market.” Earlier this morning Robinhood began limiting certain stock trades on its app, only allowing users to sell stock like GameStop and AMC, but not buy them. Any attempts to purchase stock like GameStop’s results in a message that “This stock is not supported on Robinhood.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=gamestop-in-the-news-timeline&captions=true"] GameStop stock has seen an unprecedented rise in price following a short-selling squeeze performed by the hobbyist subreddit r/WallStreetBets. These investors predicted a short on GameStop stock and took the opportunity to purchase stock early and cheap, creating a squeeze. Responses to Robinhood’s decision to halt trading on certain stocks has been swift. Politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have both tweeted criticizing Robinhood’s actions, with the former announcing they will be appearing on Twitch later today to discuss the situation.

Robinhood has not responded to the class-action lawsuit and has not made any public statements since announcing its halt on certain stocks it calls volatile.

WandaVision Episode 4 Clip Teases a Very Different Episode, MCU Ties

Spoilers ahead for WandaVision. A new clip for the fourth episode of Disney+ reveals not only an extended look at the world outside of wherever Wanda and Vision have found themselves, but also includes a few familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The clip, which you can watch below, begins with Geraldine a.k.a. Monica Rambeau and Agent Jimmy Woo from Ant-Man and the Wasp outside of the "energy field" that WandaVision has been taking place in. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/28/marvels-wandavision-episode-4-extended-clip"] It also shows Agent Woo attempting to speak to Wanda through a radio and the return of Kat Dennings' Darcy Lewis, who was last seen in Thor: The Dark World. We then get a glimpse at S.W.O.R.D. profiles for each of the residents of Westview, besides Wanda and Vision. It may be important to note that all the residents have a New Jersey ID attached to their file, except for Kathryn Hahn's Agnes, who some think may be another MCU character we won't spoil here. Extended Clip _ Marvel Studios' WandaVision _ Disney+ 0-43 screenshot We learn that Mr. Hart's real name is Todd Davis and that Norm's real name is Abilash Tandon. Each file also has areas for "Occurrence #1," "Occurrence #2," and "Notes." Tandon's file also ends on a mysterious note, by saying "Abilash becomes Norm again." Could these citizens be part of S.W.O.R.D., or are they innocent bystanders who are also trapped in this version of Westview? At the end of WandaVision's third episode, Geraldine is thrown out of Westview following her mention of Pietro's death by the hands of Ultron to Wanda, and it appears that S.W.O.R.D. was there to rescue her. Was she playing a part to try to help Wanda and Vision, or was this place altering her mind and actually turning her into Geraldine? [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/wandavision-episode-3-the-real-story-behind-wandas-pregnancy-mcu-canon-fodder"] We won't have long to learn some more answers, as the next episode of WandaVision will debut on Disney+ tomorrow, January 29. For more on WandaVision, check out our explainer on Geraldine/Monica Rambeau, whether or not Vision is actually dead in WandaVision, and every Easter Egg and reference so far in this new Marvel series.

Marvel’s Avengers: Hawkeye Content to Be Revealed In New War Table Next Month

Marvel's Avengers next War Table will take place on February 16, 2021, and it will showcase both Hawkeye and the delayed PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. Announced by Marvel's Avengers on Twitter, Hawkeye and his Operation, Hawkeye - Future Imperfect, will be the next free big DLC content to be released following the arrival of Kate Bishop and her new Operation, Taking A.I.M. Hawkeye Hawkeye was the first post-launch hero revealed for Marvel's Avengers, and Bishop's Operation saw her embark on a rescue mission for Clint "Hawkeye" Barton by using a bridge through time to save him. Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics had planned on having the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version ready earlier, but they were delayed "to ensure that we give our team the time to deliver a next-gen experience showcasing all that this game is meant to be." Although a report came out last year that said Marvel's Avengers hadn't yet recouped its development costs, these updates, as well as the upcoming PlayStation exclusive Spider-Man DLC, will hopefully help make 2021 a successful one for the game. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/19/marvels-avengers-kate-bishop-trailer"] Fans of Hawkeye have a lot more to look forward to, as a Hawkeye series is also in development for Disney+.

Bleeding Edge Will Get No New Content as Ninja Theory Focuses on Hellblade 2

Ninja Theory has announced that, with the studio now focusing on Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Project Mara, and The Insight Project, Bleeding Edge will receive no further content updates. Bleeding Edge's Twitter announced the news while also reassuring its fans that even though the game won't get any new content, it will continue to be playable on Xbox and PC. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/27/bleeding-edge-review"] "With the studio now focusing on our new projects (Senua’s Saga, Project Mara & The Insight Project) we have decided that there will be no further content updates for Bleeding Edge," Ninja Theory wrote. "The game is still playable on Xbox and PC. Thank you to the fans & keep teaming up & causing chaos!" Bleeding Edge, a 4v4 third-person melee combat game, was announced at E3 2019 and was released on March 24, 2020. In our Bleeding Edge review, we said "While tinkering with character builds and clashing swords amidst exciting team fights is fun, Bleeding Edge left me wanting more as the hours piled up. Matches frequently devolve into unbalanced, frustrating messes thanks to no role queue, and ranged combat is devoid of all the bits that make team fights enjoyable." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/13/senuas-saga-hellblade-2-reveal-trailer"] Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was also announced in 2019 and Microsoft revealed that it is being built on Unreal Engine 5 for Xbox Series X/S. Project Mara is an experimental title that is allowing Ninja Thoery to explore new ways to tell stories. It was recently revealed that Project Mara will take place in a single, incredibly realistic apartment. The Insight Project was also announced in 2019 and looks to be an "experimentally guided project that aims to deliver a mainstream solution to help treat mental suffering and encourage mental well being."
