I wish there was a mechanism to force shitty, bloated companies that have been mismanaged into a nosedive to divest "culturally valuable" IP early.

I enjoyed the early ghost recon and rainbow 6 games, but I don't even bother keeping up with news for newer ones.

Assassin's Creed is also a really cool IP, and the Anno series as well.

> divest "culturally valuable" IP early.

the fact that the IP remains culturally valuable means there's still profit to be extracted.

I say let the IP die by voting with wallet. Let indies produce newer IP which would displace these old ones.

ESG money ran out. One could think that was the plan all along so it could be bought cheaply by China.
