Developer ends lucrative screensaver deal with Roku because Fox bought it
Summary
Ars Technica reports that the Aquatic Life screensaver license for Roku is not being renewed after Fox announced its acquisition of Roku. Creator Jim Sachs says he cannot be part of the Fox world, leading Roku to switch affected devices to the Roku City screensaver. The licensing deal, historically about $80,000 per year for exclusive rights, is ending, with potential for future licensing via another platform.
