Why are corporations allowed to buy out every IP under the sun, only to sit on them and do nothing? I'd rather most companies just go under, with the characters becoming public domain.

because capital controls everything, thus those with more capital get to do whatever the fuck they want

If you don't like the market economy, then feel free to leave it.

Gaming crash would help games be free from the yoke of jews.
Just like America collapsing would help American people be free of the yoke of jews.

Speculation with a fair helping of "I don't want this thing but other people do so I will just not let them have it"

Cause killing games is legal and you can do it without consequences.
Also you can eat my entire ass.

Literally all you tourists can do is tail anticapitalist sentiment by going "well uhh actually it's jews" nigga no it is not most of these beloved IPs are Japanese owned and Japanese made

>Public domain
is communism.

>Be creator
>Make creation
>Want to get some kickback from creation
>IP laws ensure that for me
>Badass
>Exhaust my creation
>Ok, I'm done with it and I've created a community that adores my creation might as well...
>Nope, here comes the corporation that made it possible
>IP law says that it actually belongs to them
>Move on with my life
>Corporation now is sitting on my creation
>Even after my death, my descendants do not have either kickbacks or rights to use my creation
>Corporation drones that are born after my death can though
It's a shitty state of affairs even for creators.

There is a reason the copyright law can be refered to as "The Disney Law"

>>714707464
How? Disney made its fortune off of public domain characters, to the point that their versions are more famous than the originals

>>714707117
Leave what? These companies aren't even putting out games. Just dangling beloved IPs in front of peoples faces like a carrot on a stick.

>>714707574
Its even worse than that now a days:
>Be creator
>Make successful and beloved creation
>Get purchased by a large company that promises to help you and expand your IP
>Sike, actually you're all fired effectively immediately
>Your creations are also all ours now

>>714706819 (OP)
>with the characters becoming public domain
Thank disney for making so in the US copyright doesn't expire until 100 years since it was created, basically making so you can't use any character or setting invented in a 100 years since the copyright is still present there despite in the rest of the world everything being available sooner.

Corporations exist to hoard assets to prevent normal people from using them.

To destroy the competition ofc

It fundamentally isn’t a market economy
>need over 100k and the capacity to pay exorbitant property taxes and licensing fees + routine inspection without going under to even seriously start your own business
>fake fiat currency thats value is only maintained through putting countries that haven’t bought into the currency into debt
>nearly every major corporation is receiving and staying afloat through government handouts regardless of supply and demand of their products
We live in a debt economy that discourages production through propping up non-essential industries and economically punishing distributors of goods that have societal function and demand. You have not been participating in a market economy for the last 80 years.

>>714709684
While you're correct, the thing about a genuine market economy is that it will immediatly decay into monopolies. Same reason why we live in large states instead of small independent local communities. Someone will gain an advantage and devour the rest.

>>714709684
Ok but what does the government gain by keeping these corporations afloat?

>>714706819 (OP)
>, only to sit on them and do nothing?
Because companies don't have infinite resources to constantly do things with everything they own
External licensors are open to negotiate but they need to be trustworthy to handle the property or they can just straight up buy it out
Your favorite D-List franchise isn't getting a new game because the man is maliciously cockblocking new games
It's not getting new games because nobody wants to make it

>>714707117
keep sucking boot, I'm sure you'll become a millionaire any day now

Capitalism is based on competition, this shit is the exact opposite of that, it’s a bunch of retards sitting and refusing to play because they know they would lose. Imagine being the fag that hoards all the balls because you know you can’t throw.

>>714707117
As a pirate I already have.

>>714711684
Then why buy up these IPs in the first place if the plan was to never do anything with them?

>>714713269
Profits from re-releases and they might come as part of a packaged deal

>>714713269
Licensing so if anyone else wants to do something with them, they'll have to go through you
Microsoft's developers aren't interested in revisiting Rare's IPs but are open to other developers willing to give a crack at it if they can deliver.
Fangamer doesn't make video games but if they want to sell official merchandise of Rare's IPs they'll have to negotiate with Microsoft for the license

>>714706819 (OP)
The end goal of every new IP or company is to be bought out by a bigger company. You may not like it but it's true.

>>714713145
Capitalism is based on the private ownership of the means of production and production for profit. If you want developers, the workers, to be able to produce what they want for the sake of enjoyment then communism is what you would want.

The Federal Reserve is an explicit command economy institution
When I invest, and I see that the economy is looking ‘bad’ I know that I should then invest more because it means that, based on Federal Reserve policy, lending rates will be cut and more money will enter the system
In a very bad situation, I’ll invest even more - even taking out a loan - because high inflation, created by printing, means that the value of equities grows at a faster rate than the interest I’m borrowing at

None of how I’ve made my money has anything to do with providing goods or a service - I’ve just been assuming that Lucifer controls all banks and this assumption has let me pay off my student loans

Because then they would eventually stumble on a retarded fanatic who wants to do the game with that IP, and the company can charge them for using their IP, making money like if they are holding stock or a storage unit waiting to be rented eventually by a retard with to much money and to little options.
