“We have so much work ahead of us,” Stephen Shackelford says on this week’s episode of Inside the Hive.

Shackelford was one of the lead attorneys in Dominion’s lawsuit against Fox News, which resulted in the media giant paying $787.5 million in April to settle that case.

Host Brian Stelter interviewed Shackelford and Brook multiple times for his new book, Network of Lies, which hits shelves November 14.

Due to various difficulties associated with managing the Hitman developer, nobody was interested in buying the studio.

Considered a failure by Square Enix, this entry eventually became the reason for Square Enix’s decision to sell off developer IO Interactive.
