Everything to me at this point is metered in the LucasFilm purchase price of 4 billion. This past year has just proven companies can just chuck ridiculous amounts of money at anything as though it's not a big deal.
- gimmeThaBeet 6y agoI don't know, how good of an example is that? I figure your point was "everything's massively inflated". Now, hindsight is always 20/20, but now you look back on the fact, "Disney got Marvel and Lucasfilm for $4B apiece", they may as well have been stolen.
- offtop5 6y agoDisney has already made back it's 4b and then some. Sure they've diluted the franchise a bit( I know I'll never see a Star Wars movie in the first week again and TROS's strange attempts to overwrite TLJ). But it's still been an amazing ROI for them . Does suck so much of media is controlled by a single company though .

- offtop5 6y agoHow I or anyone else feels is irrelevant, they purchased an asset for four billion and already made more than that. Likewise code Masters expect them to milk these franchises dry until you ultimately don't even want to play the games anymore, but if EA can make 1.5 billion by the time the code Masters brand is dead, they would have made a profit. You can always open up Unity or Unreal and make your own rally game
- TMWNN 6y ago>TROS's strange attempts to overwrite TLJ There's reason to think that Disney may retroactively erase the entire sequel trilogy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AMRRGCkW-k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AMRRGCkW-k
