>>22693335To make this shit bait thread at least somewhat useful, why don't you (or anyone else who actually holds that opinion) tell us yourself WHAT EXACTLY it is you want Cover to do instead?
Because there are lots of stupid things that don't really do anything and would only run the franchise into the ground. (For example, I'm already apprehensive about their stupid metaverse game project, which looks to me like white elephant vaporware waste of resources that would better be spent on directly helping the talents directly. If Cover wants to get into gaming, they can just partner up with already existing popular games instead and put out collab cards/skins/etc instead. It costs them nothing and is essentially free advertising).
As for why they operate the way they do - the simplest explanation is most often the accurate one: because it has worked (so far). Why should they do "better" (which again no one has defined what that even actually means in practice) when just "good enough" has already given them market dominance. There's simply no incentive to improve.
Most responsible for this is the fanbase and what they (continue) to accept - as long as they show up and donate etc to what is (in your opinion) substandard content, why should Cover change? Their brand power is so strong by now they could debut a silent cardboard png tommorrow and as long as it has the coveted blue triangle next to their name, fans would give it a six figure subcount right out of the gate.
They'd only move and change/"improve" things if someone/thing new really threatened or actually overtook them and they'd have to adapt and up their game to stay competitive. And there's not really something like that on the horizon yet, so they're safe to stagnate.
