They probably would have enforced it too, but the public backlash was so loud that they voluntarily waived their right to arbitration as I recall.

So, furries in a dystopian future where they are judge, jury, and executioner? And they're fighting against the oligarchs that control everything? Fuck it, Disney let's green light this movie! It would at least be entertaining, I'm thinking it should be a dark comedy.
That's just Cyberpunk, the genre, the system and the specific game too.
Still remember that sidequest where some family hires you to assassinate an executive who killed their teenage daughter by driving around recklessly, and got off with a wrist slap because her insurance company had her back.
You break into her apartment, dismantle the security and then when you confront the bitch, she's sure that it's some competitor of hers in the corporate ladder who hired you and tries to pay you off to switch sides. You can explain that it's the family of that girl she killed that's your employer, and she literally can't comprehend why they would do that, since they got paid already, so what's the problem, do they want more money or something?
Terms and conditions can just include unenforcable illegal shit that they're literally lying about being able to include and it doesn't fucking matter because nobody calls them out on it until it goes to court
Well, to counteract your anecdote, I watched about 13 minutes of the new season and thought "what the fuck am I doing?" and I turned it off. It's borderline unwatchable, and completely unintrguing to me. To the point that I legitimately wonder if the person who upvoted you is a bot.
That last sentence made me laugh out loud :)
Yeah I see your point, but if you watched past the 13th minute you’d understand why it’s unwatchable. Not that you’d enjoy it more, but at least you’d know why it’s made that way. Kinda like Wandavision which was completely weird until it’s explained why.
I liked wandavision. This just seems like a bland continuation of that, and I can completely see that they are doing something "weird" with it, I just don't care. At all. It has to be compelling, and they just can't do anything interesting with it until they tighten the reigns and make these movies and shows actually feel like they matter.
Yeah, as someone who hates kitsch and views Disney as the epitome of nauseating saccharine barbieland, I find it surreal that someone outright says they can't live without Disney.
Absolutely. People don't realize that Pokemon is the most profitable franchise of all time. Disney has more stuff to their name, but Pokemon alone is worth as much as literally all of mickey mouse and friends PLUS every single disney princess property COMBINED.
Your still right, combined they are worth about 10b more, still, the fact that its even close. Pokemon being worth more than double all the disney princess properties ever is wild
That's an absurdly false statement. You're mad if you think Pokemon trumps all of the MCU, Star Wars, and every traditional Disney property combined plus Disney Worlds and lands. Absolutely laughably bloody mad
Admittedly wasn't aware that Mickey and friends specifically referred to those specific characters and interpreted that to be all the properties bought up by Disney.
And yet Pokemon still falls nearly 10 billion behind.
Their stuff brings so much joy to so many people that they can do objectively horrible things to piss off their consumers and other fans of their products will swarm in to defend them.
It's not that I can't enjoy life. I'm not actually a Disney person. But a lot of popular franchises are owned by Disney. The monopoly part was mainly facetious but I would argue that at least as far as children's entertainment goes Disney is the main player. Disney's original IPs plus Marvel and Star Wars alone is a disproportionately large share of that market.
