Good for him. Still, boomers are mostly retired and Gen X is looking pension in the face. By injecting normie Millennial interest, they have a longer targeted investment built in. (or at least that's how corporate business no-games tend to think)

The corporations involved had foreknowledge of things like Covid at least a decade in advance.

Businesses will stage the failures of products and programs all the time, if it means a more favorable long-term outcome.
