  • EA Boss Could Be Next Disney CEO?!
    Nov 13 2024
    Get ready for more Disney microtransactions? Disney might be tapping the CEO of Electronic Arts as the new CEO of the company. Does this mean that frontrunners like Dana Walden and Josh D’Amaro are out of the running? Will Disney become like Hasbro, and be a video game company that just happens to have theme parks?

    Disney is exploring external candidates, including EA’s CEO, for its next CEO position due to declining internal confidence and a potential shift towards a more technology-driven, profit-focused strategy.

    00:00 Disney is seeking outside candidates for its next CEO, indicating a lack of confidence in internal options.

    01:16 Disney is eyeing EA’s head as a risky CEO candidate amid declining consumer confidence, potentially prioritizing digital over theme parks.

    02:42 EA’s CEO is a potential candidate to replace Bob Iger as Disney struggles to find a successor.

    04:13 Disney’s current culture is so deteriorated that hiring from within may not yield a leader who truly loves the company.

    04:51 Disney may appoint a new CEO with a gaming background to enhance technology and AI integration, mirroring EA’s focus on microtransactions.

    06:10 Disney may consider merging with or acquiring EA to compete with Epic Games, potentially altering its core identity and leading to a future of licensing out its IP.

    07:30 EA’s focus on profit through microtransactions contrasts sharply with Disney’s fading original vision, leading to concerns about the company’s future direction.

    08:44 EA’s boss is being considered as a potential candidate for the next Disney CEO.

  • Hollywood Just SNAPPED Wokeness After Trump Re-Election?!
    Nov 13 2024
    Is this the end of ’wokeness’ in Hollywood? While it was winding down prior to Trump’s re-election, Hollywood insiders are claiming that Trump 2.0 will signal a hard stop to many ’woke’ movies and TV shows for the foreseeable future.

    Hollywood is shifting away from "woke" content and politically-driven themes to focus on quality, relatable narratives that appeal to a broader audience, particularly in response to changing political dynamics and backlash from viewers.

    00:00 Hollywood is pivoting away from "woke" content post-Trump’s reelection, fearing backlash and seeking to regain traditional audiences.

    04:17 Hollywood is moving away from wokeness and leftist themes, focusing instead on quality, relatable content that appeals to broader audiences.

    08:46 Hollywood is facing backlash for prioritizing niche, politically-driven content over traditional themes, leading to poor performances and a shift towards more mainstream, heteronormative projects.

    11:52 Hollywood is facing backlash over wokeness and diversity in films, resulting in declining viewership and criticism, particularly highlighted by the controversy surrounding the live-action "Little Mermaid."

    13:49 Hollywood is pushing back against wokeness and shifting towards centrist content following Trump’s re-election and changing political dynamics.

    17:19 Hollywood’s push for political correctness is alienating audiences and hurting major franchises like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, while Harry Potter holds steady despite mixed reviews.

    19:16 Hollywood’s shock at rising conservative views highlights a disconnect from mainstream America, as audiences increasingly support platforms that embrace free speech and diverse perspectives.

    22:04 Hollywood is expected to shift towards moderate content and organic diversity, aiming to appeal to a broader audience, including Trump voters, in response to changing economic dynamics.

  • AAA Gaming Implosion Continues! Square Enix Stock PLUMMETS in Q3!
    Nov 12 2024
    Did Square Enix become another victim of "go woke, get broke?" The beleaguered Japanese RPG publisher took another massive hit to their stock this quarter, even after ditching platform exclusivity. Maybe gamers are withholding their wallets after debacles like censorship in Final Fantasy VII Remake and the Dragon Quest III Remake, or Forspoken... like ALL of it?

    Square Enix’s focus on "AAA Western-style games" and "wokeness" is alienating their core gaming audience and causing them to "bleed money" for years.

    The company’s decision to censor characters from the 30-year-old Dragon Quest series signals to gamers that the game will be "edited and woke".

    Square Enix’s stock plummeted 10% on November 11, 2024, losing $350 million in market value due to declining operating profit and premium game sales.

    The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy (2020-2023) exemplifies Square Enix’s misguided focus on Western-style games over their traditional Japanese RPG roots.

    Square Enix’s Q3 2024 financial report revealed a 27% year-on-year operating profit decline, prompting investors to sell off stock.

    The company’s decision to sell off Crystal Dynamics and shut down the Tomb Raider and Marvel divisions is seen as a huge blow and sign of decline.

    Square Enix is facing a significant decline due to financial struggles, alienation of gamers, and a misguided shift in content strategy, leading to a loss of investor confidence and market value.

    00:00 Square Enix’s decline continues as it alienates gamers, struggles financially, and attempts to pivot too late after years of missteps.

    01:15 Square Enix’s stock is crashing due to declining AAA studios and a shift towards indie games, leading to a reassessment of their content strategy.

    03:36 Square Enix’s stock plummeted over 10% after a Q3 report showed a 27% drop in operating profit, raising concerns about its reliance on remakes and neglect of gameplay and storytelling.

    06:15 Square Enix’s stock dropped 10% amid mixed financial results and declining game sales, losing $350 million in market cap since November.

    08:14 Square Enix’s stock is crashing as investor confidence wanes over poor Final Fantasy 16 sales and a shift towards Western AAA games.

    10:08 Square Enix’s focus on wokeness and neglect of gamer preferences is causing a decline in sales and alienating American audiences, while indie games thrive by meeting actual demands.

    14:21 Square Enix must focus on releasing more high-quality, engaging games without excessive budgets or lengthy development times to avoid business decline.
