Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Per the company, “Paramount will oversee direct development, creation and production of the Paramount Global Publishing books, with sales and distribution into the retail market to be handled by a yet-to-be-named partner.”

Paramount says it will continue its existing licensing strategy with publishers and distributors.

It’s interesting.

Clearly Skydance/Ellison sees the synergistic value in integrating publishing with screen media even if the Redmonds were just stripping assets.

Hopefully this doesn't impact my ability to buy them DRM-free. Ugh.

At least with S&S, they would release them without DRM after 5 years. That's 5 years too long, but better than nothing I suppose.

It sounds like they'll be continuing the Trek license with S&S for the time being, but for how long as anyone's guess...
