19 <p id="7hF16i">The year is kicking off with what’s becoming a loose tradition: a documentary about a renowned ‘90s athlete that aims to shade in a more complete picture. This time around, it’s <em>Tiger</em>, a two-part HBO Sports documentary about golf superstar Tiger Woods.

It was January 21. The first case had arrived in the US. We’d only heard of about 300 cases reported in China and six deaths. </p>

The decision was made because of complications caused by the pandemic.

Ora Media, which King co-founded in 2012, confirmed the news in a tweet to the @KingsThings Twitter account. A cause of death was not immediately available Saturday, but he had reportedly been <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/02/media/larry-king-covid-19/index.html">hospitalized recently with COVID-19</a>.</p>
124 <p id="NcNT6L">“Larry always viewed his interview subjects as the true stars of his programs,” the statement from Ora reads. “Whether he was interviewing a U.S. president, foreign leader, celebrity, scandal-ridden personage, or an everyman, Larry liked to ask short, direct, and uncomplicated questions.”</p>

The company <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/22/22244173/microsoft-xbox-live-gold-price-increase-pricing">announced</a> a price hike on Friday that would have doubled the cost of a yearly subscription to the service, which is required to play games online on Xbox consoles, to $120 for many users. Now, though, Microsoft says the price will stay the same.</p>
179 <p id="LOXxiL">Beyond that, Microsoft has decided to bring Xbox Live in line with Sony and Nintendo’s online services by dropping the subscription requirement for free-to-play games. Popular free-to-play titles like <em>Fortnite</em> are playable on PlayStation consoles and the Nintendo Switch without an online subscription, but you still need one for Xbox consoles; Microsoft says it’s “working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible...</p>
