I'm sorry, dude, but much of your rant is pure speculation and opinion — nothing more.

No, it's not. Marvel Comics have been losing money hand over foot since 2010 or so: https://www.cbr.com/february-2020-comic-sales-charts/

https://www.digitalspy.com/comics/a542623/marvel-dc-comics-see-declining-market-share/

Any business in the business of making money would have reorganized ASAP. Instead they've doubled down on the SJW propaganda amid record low sales, all while manga skyrockets and overtakes them: https://comicbook.com/anime/news/manga-united-states-book-sales-november-2018/

https://www.rutgers.edu/news/why-are-manga-outselling-superhero-comics

Game product sales are almost universally down among the AAA publishers since adopting SJW pandering. They've made up for it with microtransactions and DLC: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-made-almost-1-billion-on-microtransactions-last/1100-6473240/

Notice the only big brand title mover in the product space was Star Wars?

Meanwhile, Battlefield V, the SJW-laden FPS was a pretty big flop compared to Battlefield 3, 4, and 1: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/electronic-arts-stock-heads-toward-largest-drop-in-more-than-a-decade-after-earnings-miss-2019-02-05

Activision is constantly bleeding the retention of users with year-over-year drops as they continue to push the SJW agenda, with ZERO course correction in sight: https://www.investors.com/news/technology/click/activision-stock-q1-2019-atvi-earnings/

Ubisoft has also been playing hard a fast with their numbers, boosting AC: Valhalla as a success because it outsold Odyssey at launch: https://www.thegamer.com/assassins-creed-valhalla-odyssey-sales/

AC: Valhalla did about 3 million SKUs during the quarter, and basically stopped dead in its tracks there. Compare that to AC2 and AC3, the former of which moved 6 million units over the course of the launch quarter, the latter of which moved more than 12 million units: https://www.videogamer.com/news/assassins-creed-2-has-sold-over-6-million-units/ https://www.pcgamer.com/assassins-creed-3-sells-12-million-far-cry-3-sells-4-5-million-sequels-planned/

Ubisoft has been pushing out Leftist propaganda for years amid constantly declining sales, starting back with AC Syndicate, where they attempted to pander to the feminist crowd with a playable female character: https://www.mcvuk.com/business-news/publishing/assassins-creed-syndicate-is-no-1-but-sales-are-well-down-on-previous-years/

After that sales debacle they just doubled down and kept moving in the same direction despite sales still being abysmal.

Microsoft moved in the exact same direction with Gears of War. Constantly pushing more and more feminist trash, even while sales were so low for Gears 5 they've refused to push sell-through numbers: https://www.pcgamesn.com/gears-5/gears-5-sales https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thH5yrx4ap8

Do I even need to talk about how much money Hollywood has been losing on their woke nonsense? From Ghostbusters 2016, the Charlie's Angels reboot, Harley Quinn, Terminator Dark Fate, Men in Black International, and basically anything recent with Amy Schumer attached.

Yet they KEEP making these woke movies that keep bombing. That isn't a conspiracy, it's literally happening. Dune is another example of them going woke, A Wheel In Time, Amazon's Lord of the Rings, and about a dozen other franchises and properties all following the same pattern of the woke films that came before it.

There's workarounds for everything, and we're seeing that clearly as the steps you've described that they've taken have been worked around — Gab and Parler for instance.

What workaround is that? Average people not knowing Gab exists because it's blocked from every major app store and search engine? Parler pretty much going the same way? They're disenfranchised alternatives that fit the mold I explained: excommunicated from payment processors and services that would allow them to reach massive audiences to compete with any of the Big Tech social media services. They will never be allowed to grow to the size of Twitter or Facebook.

Your view is a very doomer/blackpilled/there-is-no-hope-they-win point of view and I simply don't subscribe to it.

Who cares? Everything I've written is cemented in fact. You being brainwashed and ignorant isn't my problem.

Regardless of what your opinion on it is, there is a bottom-line for them, because many of them are publicly traded companies and will answer to shareholders. Plain and simple.

That hasn't been the case with EA, Activision, Disney, Marvel, DC, Google, Twitter, or Facebook. They continue to push the woke nonsense into the mainstream despite all of it bottoming out. They have secondary franchises/properties to fall back on, but they continue to bleed countless dollars on woke trash and it's only getting worse. After a decade of losing billions of dollars, shareholders would have had heads rolling, yet that isn't happening.

So you're not just wrong, you're pushing the same kind of brainwashed nonsense the Left does in making people think that there's some sort of course correction happening with shareholders, when ZERO evidence has been apparent. The links above I posted literally say as much, with EA and Activision still moving forward with woke nonsense despite it affecting their bottom lines.

Stop being so myopic and close-minded, thinking that you're the only person who's figured it all out. People are allowed to disagree with your opinion. It doesn't make you wrong, nor does it make them right.

You're allowed to disagree with my opinion sure, but when you're just saying "nope" and shaking your head when people present facts or hand-wave evidence all away like some kind of brain-dead Lolbertarian or Cuckservative, it makes you look absolutely foolish.

If anything, I feel that our Government has done a shit job at regulating many of these tech companies in the same way that was done with regards to oil/railraod during the industrial revolution. But that's a different topic altogether.

Are you really this dense? The government is in on it. They even work with Big Tech to censor unpopular opinions using tax payer dollars: https://www.wndnewscenter.org/government-agents-are-telling-facebook-to-censor-content-lawsuit-says/

Not reading your unhinged rant. Enjoy your doomer blackpills because you don't have a grasp of how reality works and think the internet is representative of real life.
Not to mention, no time for some dumb goof who needs to insult others and play make-believe because he feels it makes his point. So, good job wasting all the time.

Opinions aren't facts. Nothing is sustainable forever. As history demonstrates, the pendulum always swings the other way. People said a lot of the same shit during the hippie era, too. Even the momentum the left had in 2016-2018 has slowly been crumbling. Things don't just happen overnight when corporate bureaucracy is involved.
Either way, I have no interest wasting my time on someone who can't even have a conversation without losing his shit because he's too insecure to handle someone disagreeing with him. Chances are, we'd probably agree on a lot. But he immediately thinks by disagreeing I'm saying that I'm right, which goes to show he's more concerned with having internet fights than just shooting the shit and talking. I deal with that enough from retards on the left — so I have no interest in dealing with "him."
