Time to emulate one of Disneys greatest heros - Captain Jack Sparrow.

Yo, remember when Disney gave EA exclusivity to Star Wars licensing, and for the duration of that exclusivity contract they rebooted one classic online multi-player shooter and then made a sequel that was one of the worst received games of the year and set the record for the highest dislike ratio on YouTube prompting Google to remove the dislike counter?

Apparently the Disney board doesn't. Maybe someone should remind them.

Not even any tie-in games for the sequel movies, just a DLC map.

But EA clearly know how to rake in money with the yearly version of SportsGame ~~2021~~ ~~2022~~ ~~2023~~ 2024. They are expected to make just as much cash by releasing the exact same movie every year. Who knows, maybe they'll add microtransactions.

I believe Disney remembered the important part of the story; everyone still somehow managed to get rich at our expense.

I remember the sense of Pride and Accomplishment everyone got from that game back then.

Corporate shitbag musical chairs is the worst game

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 1 day ago

The corporate world absolutely idolizes the grift. Being able to "produce value" (=make more money while actually not producing anything more) is the only game left. Shareholders look at something like EA that releases the same old Madden year after year while making money hand over fist, and they fucking salivate.

[–] erin@lemmy.sidh.bzh 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

next Disney movie will release the first 30 minutes at movie theater with the last hour and additional characters as DLCs.

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You forgot to mention the DLC will only be available through paid "surprise mechanics" (lootboxes)

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But think of your sense of accomplishment in getting the legendary ending.

Man it's weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams "funny feeling" this morning and he has a line about "Robert (Bob) Igers face" and I thought hmm I actually don't get that, I don't know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol

This went so well last time
