Oh yeah God of War did horribly on PS2.

Wait no, it did phenomenally.

Yes, they are selling the right to create. NY Times did not create Wordle, but they bought the right to. So no one else is allowed to create something like it. The people that literally created the Wile Coyote movie, they cant get together to remake it because they dont own the right to create what they literally created. The whole concept of buying the right to create has done just awful things to any form of art and puts most of the resources into the hands of people that do not create at all.

selling your art and selling the right to create are different things. I sell my art all the time, and it gets copied and redistributed, and even more people come to me to buy more art.

Which is why we’re in this shitty timeline where every creative project is being handled by people that do not create. A lot of artists worked on a movie, but because soulless executives had all the money to own creative rights despite having no part in the movie’s creation, they just got rid of the movie to save on taxes. Creative ownership should never be decided by money.

no, you no longer control it. now someone else does by virtue of money

I hate copyright and the notion of buying creative ownership. They didn’t make Wordle, they shouldnt have any control over it.
