Zero_Destroyer 04/12/24 4:21:30 PM #9:	The reasonable set of actions regarding this would be federal intervention, a boycott of their products, and platforms & journalist outfits becoming openly hostile towards their company until they reverse course. That's not happening though so what's going to happen is they are going to sink comical amounts of cash into IPs they paid immense amounts of money for, see no return on investment, see massive piracy issues involving their games, then they'll wonder why they are going out of business within the next decade lol That being said, we did at least see the Skull & Bones debacle where they were forced to commit to their promises at comical cost to the company, so hopefully we see more of that. --- Enjoy movies and television?
