Here’s What’s Leaving Netflix in March
It's time once again for Netflix's "last call" list featuring movies and TV shows slated to slip off into oblivion. In March, wave goodbye to all four Jaws movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Christopher Nolan's Memento, bewitching '90s classic The Craft, Tim Allen's Santa Clause franchise, and Disney's Zootopia.
On the TV front, all seven seasons of FX's Archer are vanishing along with the some seasons of 1984's Voltron, The Carmichael Show, Salem, The Finder, Rosewood, and more. Included among the TV shows taking a powder is the short-lived but superb Awake, starring Star Trek Discovery's Jason Isaacs - so make sure to catch that before it leaves!

Toys R Us is now reportedly set to close 44 percent of its stores across the U.S.

Net Neutrality to Officially End in April
Net neutrality will officially come to an end on April 23.
The Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) repeal order was published today, revealing net neutrality's end date.
In a 3-2 vote this past December, the FCC voted to end its rules on net neutrality.
Net neutrality requires internet service providers (ISP) to treat all content the same, so without it, ISPs can throttle internet access and charge more for certain content. In an effort to prevent the repeal from going into effect, states are suing the FCC.

How a Justice League Fighting Game Ultimately Led to Diablo
Before co-founding Blizzard North, David Brevik worked on the Sega Genesis version of Justice League Task Force, which ultimately led him to the studio where he'd go on to create Diablo.
On the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered, Brevik shared the story behind how the 16-bit DC fighting game led him to Blizzard. His studio at the time, Condor, was tasked with making the Genesis version of Justice League Task Force. Meanwhile, the studio that would later become Blizzard, Silicon & Synapse, was working on the Super Nintendo version.
Brevik thought Condor was the only studio working on the game, but when he went to CES during the project's development, he was surprised to learn Silicon & Synapse was working on a Super Nintendo version. "We had never met, we had never discussed anything, we had never shared ideas, we never knew that there was another version or another developer working on the Super Nintendo version of the product at the time," he said.
