The Mandalorian Beats Stranger Things as the Most In-Demand Show
Who would win in a fight? Eleven from Stranger Things or the adorable Baby Yoda from the Mandalorian? It looks like Mando has finally overtaken the kids of Hawkins, and become the most in-demand streaming show for the week of November 17 through 23, 2019, according to ParrotAnalytics.
That’s no mark against Stranger Things, which debuted its third season all the way back on the 4th of July earlier this year. That the Mandalorian, which only just released its third episode in its second week of being available, just now overtook Stranger Things means that the series managed to hold the top spot (or close to it) for 21 weeks after season three dropped.

How The Mandalorian Fits Into the Star Wars Timeline
Warning: this article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of The Mandalorian!
The Mandalorian is a many-faceted Star Wars series. While on one hand, it's a Lone Wolf and Cub-inspired space-western about a gritty bounty hunter and his Baby Yoda companion, it's also a series that builds on the complicated history of Mandalore and its warriors. Needless to say, it helps to have some familiarity with the larger Star Wars saga outside the scope of the movies.
But if you'd rather not have to study up to appreciate The Mandalorian, fear not. We've already established when The Mandalorian takes place relative to the main Star Wars movies. Now we break down how the series' rapidly growing mythology touches on many pieces of the Star Wars timeline, ranging from the titular character's tragic origin story to the fall of the planet Mandalore to the post-Return of the Jedi status quo in the present.

Battleborn Servers to Shut Down in 2021
The Battleborn servers are shutting down in January, 2021, 2K stated in a blog post, marking the end of Gearbox’s hero shooter, which released back in mid-2016.
2K also announced that it has removed Battleborn from digital storefronts, and has begun reallocating resources towards other projects.
2K confirmed that players who already own the game won’t be impacted until that 2021 date, but premium virtual currency will be disabled for all players after February 24, 2020. No other features in Battleborn will be affected until the server shutdown.
Once Battleborn’s servers are shutdown in 2021, 2K says the game will be unplayable, including the single-player campaign and PvP games.
