- Kye 5y agoOwning proven stuff is probably a more reliable investment than hoping one of your darts in the wall develops the cultural cachet of any of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer_franchises https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer_f... How many Netflix productions come even close for all the tens of billions they've poured into it? Reliable names mean customer retention.
