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.

> 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.

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

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