I still cannot understand how a company screws up Star Wars but Disney knew how to destroy it.

also star wars battlefront 2, the product was actually good like really really good, but EA and disney managed to screw it and then stop production on it.
Well I blame EA more on that than Disney. It is common that these companies removed their QA teams. They also do not take testing reports seriously. All these companies follow the live service/mmo style of repair work by, âWe will patch that later.â By the time they repair it, too late.

U asked the figure for the losses, you are moving the goalpost, you guys are so obnoxious.
for battlefront 2 it was mainly that monetisation at the start it was horrible
Sorry, I didnât realize you were going to show me a figure for something completely irrelevant to our conversation. I thought you were talking about the video game industry, since thatâs what we were discussing. Sorry, my bad for making that wild wild assumption.

I mean, I can just go by the buzz word super obvious ones like Bud Light and Target. I could also go to the less obvious ones, like Ubisoft, Blizzard, Netflix. But not youâre the type of person to accept truth and reality, and will just deflect facts so whatâs even the point, lol?
Itâs almost like bad quality and DEI nonsense go hand and hand, huh? 
You clearly donât understand the meaning of the word, lol. Please, educate yourself before you continue this conversation. For the betterment of humanity.
Like, I wonât even hold your views against you. Everyoneâs entitled to their opinions. But you just spout blatant misinformation with such conviction. Itâs actually just depressing. You donât know anything. Please, if not for everyone else, for your own sake.
I saw many complaints cause they turned a white character from AW 1 black but other than that its good
No you knew we were talking about all ESG/DEI, u just got your source and u did not like it so now u try technicalities.
I am happy you are all losing hard

lol. Donât accuse me of your own actions.
Bud and Target suffered brief bumps but recovered in weeks, none of the others have suffered any issues because of such policies. It is always the oddballs that donât understand how business works that find a brief moment in history and call it fact that 1 decision impacts everything.
I hope you checked who was selling stocks in these companies at the moment of the stock price changes and found out why they were selling them. Because that is the biggest day to day driver of stock price fluctuations. Because if you didnât, you have zero clue as to what the cause was. Maybe also check for RNS update around that time, which will give you stock market updates.
They donât. You are just trying to connect the 2 as it is convenient for your view point.
Maybe just say what you really mean⌠you donât like certain people. Then everyone knows where they stand.

The amount of people that are arguing for such manufactured DEI games is what is disheartening, this is how creative industries die
Then the same people will come and say games are bad nowadays after a while.

yawn, DEI is the death of all things.
Not to me, I am not in America. If the courts are politically motivated, they need to be replaced. And if you have 3 justices appointed by Trump on a board of 10⌠something isnât right.
Legality yes. They have the power to define what is and isnât legal on a federal level.
The rest isnât up to them. They can legally punish forms of racism, or allow it, if they so wish. But they donât define it.
Oh. Sweet child. If only you knew that business just put this stuff in place to tick boxes⌠they donât actually follow through with it, because it doesnât actually have an impact.

Nobody loves wow or starcraft more than South Korea. They literally live in cafes so they can play all day and until they pass out. They sell random and weird wow stuff at gas stations. If you thought people used to be obsessed with wow in the US they had nothing on SK.
This wouldnt really be possible in India or most Asian countries expect maybe for Japan.
It feels like blizz focuses too much on SK sometimes but nobody loves blizzard more than them.

They will focus on the markets where the customers are. If SK is where the money is being spent. It makes business sense to pander to them a little more.
Same will happen again for the Chinese market when the new NetEase deal kicks into gear.

I could have probably worded what I was saying a bit better.
I was trying to say that itâs not the âinclusionâ itself that many people hate or get annoyed by, but rather âthe wayâ companies go about the inclusion.
More often than not, companies will take some sort of DEI content and slap it into something with some extremely lackluster writing, character themes, stories, etc. The point is that the content is lacking in all areas except for the DEI part. (Cough, cough, Venture)
This, in turn, causes a ton of conflict (perceived hate) between the ones who got the representation and the people who just dislike the way in which that content was created or written.
I think the conflict mainly boils down to âxâ people not caring about the way in which the content was written or created so long as they got their inclusion, and the other side who puts the value of the contents writing, story, character, etc. over just having DEI.
A lot of people are just fed up with companies putting out soulless DEI content, and the ones who got the representation see that as pushback (hate) from those people when thatâs not really the reality of the situation. (So when I said the ones who were catered to unironically receive 10x more hate, this is what I meant. )
Also,
Itâs not like weâre incapable of getting DEI content with good writing, a good character theme, story, etc.; these things can exist simultaneously; however, 90% of the companies that provide DEI content suck at their job and are incapable of doing so, so we just end up with soulless content labeled âxâ to tick off some boxes.
If companies didnât suck when it came to this stuff, I donât think nearly as many people would even bat an eye towards DEI stuff at all.

That is all you needed to say. People just add this DEI balls to it for bait as that rage appeals to a certain type of internet numpty. It is just engagement farming at that point. When they could just argue that the content was bad, but that would require them to actually have an original opinion.
