Certain Epic employees and contractors claim that they have felt extreme pressure to work intense hours to maintain the success and profitability of "Fortnite," which has led to a toxic, stressful environment at the game maker, Campbell says. Contract staff at the company's quality assurance and customer service departments described to Polygon a stressful and hostile working environment in which working overtime was an expected service to Epic, even though it was officially voluntary. Though such staff were paid overtime, developers spoke of a culture of fear, in which they were expected to work long hours as part of their job, the author notes. Investors in Epic include Tencent (TCEHY), KKR (KKR), and Disney (DIS).

At an event held by Fast Company magazine last week Abigail Disney, a great niece of Walt Disney, said that "By any objective measure a pay ratio over a thousand is insane."

Traditional TV access subscriptions continue to decline as subscribers pay higher prices due to ongoing programmer price increases, while traditional TV advertising revenue plateaus. With ARPU half the traditional TV average, lackluster margins, programming gaps and technical issues, live multichannel OTT provides little counter to category killers Netflix (NFLX) & Amazon (AMZN) that sell at lower price points and essentially without advertising. We believe a number of OTT plays, including large and niche, will fail due to insufficient subscriber traction, cost, and competition." Companies in the movie industry include: AT&T (T), Sony (SNE), Disney (DIS), Comcast (CMCSA), Lionsgate (LGF.A, LGF.B) Fox (FOX), Viacom (VIA), Netflix (NFLX), and Amazon (AMZN).

Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne said his firm's annual streaming video survey showed that Netflix (NFLX) remains the most widely used service, with 48% of respondents identifying themselves as users. Of interest, 50% of Netflix users also use Amazon (AMZN) Prime Video, 64% of Prime members use Netflix and 81% of Hulu users said they use Netflix, all of which are up from the prior survey. Also, 37% of respondents expressed some level of interest in subscribing to Disney+ (DIS) at $8/month, which is higher than the price point the company announced, and 60% of respondents who reported having children expressed some level of interest, noted Swinburne.

Gregory Messer, the Chapter 7 trustee for the Fyre Festival estate, is seeking the subpoenas in a filing in bankruptcy court and has asked the judge to require Hulu and Netflix to show whether they paid for footage that should have been deemed an asset of the company.

Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein lowered his price target for Netflix (NFLX) to $410 from $425 on modestly weaker FY19/20 subscriber outlook, partially offset by higher APRU. The analyst notes that despite new competitive entrants, such as Apple (AAPL) and Disney (DIS), Netflix cites potential for further upside with only 2% of global downstream mobile internet traffic versus 10% peak viewing share in U.S. He reiterates an Outperform rating on Netflix's shares.
