The corporate world absolutely idolizes the grift. Being able to "produce value" (=make more money while actually not producing anything more) is the only game left. Shareholders look at something like EA that releases the same old Madden year after year while making money hand over fist, and they fucking salivate.

Yo, remember when Disney gave EA exclusivity to Star Wars licensing, and for the duration of that exclusivity contract they rebooted one classic online multi-player shooter and then made a sequel that was one of the worst received games of the year and set the record for the highest dislike ratio on YouTube prompting Google to remove the dislike counter?

Apparently the Disney board doesn't. Maybe someone should remind them.

Not even any tie-in games for the sequel movies, just a DLC map.

next Disney movie will release the first 30 minutes at movie theater with the last hour and additional characters as DLCs.

You forgot to mention the DLC will only be available through paid "surprise mechanics" (lootboxes)

But think of your sense of accomplishment in getting the legendary ending.

Man it's weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams "funny feeling" this morning and he has a line about "Robert (Bob) Igers face" and I thought hmm I actually don't get that, I don't know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol
