@Arkana @sickburnbro @suquili Sony burning $400 million on Concord, the worse media failure in all of history, is a good demonstration that the first bit of your model is incomplete or just wrong.
Who are "money men" nowadays? Special cases with tight ownership, and activist investors, who's been making runs at Disney and I'm not sure who else. And Ubisoft is also in trouble, yes?
In most cases, we're talking about executives who's first priority is keeping their jobs and careers in globohomo Clown World where a work dud ... maybe not as bad as Concord, but there's plenty others, is less bad than "just want fucking white males to consume product" for games. Or normie families for most of what Disney does. And there are probably some true believers in there as well, or so I guessed about Concord.
