I agree, legitimate concern. There are a lot of beloved yet commercially vulnerable intellectual properties whose owners have licensed shows or movies to them. I don't see what stops them from using the same formula for a microtransaction catalog.

If they ubiquitously flaunt promises of residuals in the faces of hacks, sell-outs, and has-beens they already do business with they'd be drowning in more cultural miasma than you can shake a discord server full of tranny programmers at.
