Yeah, I definitely hope it fails lol.what is this? a videogame?
don't worry the videogame will fail just like their short-lived webtoon and everything else that doesn't depend on microtransactions (like mobile games). the only people consuming btees content are the armees, and i don't see the fandom expanding. what i do see are the same armee groups buying sh*t over and over with different aliases and vpns to manipulate sales. because the videogame doesn't affect billboard, we'll probably see normal (as in less) sales of it reported.
general public doesn't give a rat's a*s.
and i agree on your last point, but from one artist (i am one; visual & literature) to other artists that may be reading this forum, keep going; opportunities always rise up & ofc make your own.
p*dobang may think he owns the world, but he really doesn't. in the end, he's just another mortal human like the rest of us.
edit: fixed word typo
Pe#dobang is such a power hungry, arrogant individual, all these manager, higher up guys in the company, there's just something really weird and creepy with all of them. They all talked about the new contents on that livestream, and they creeped me out. Pdbang definitely is connected in very shady ways.
I find it absolutely outrageous how big certain companies are, and to see companies branch out into multiple industries, just because they have the power to do so. I don't think that these new releases will gain a super new audience, but one never knows. It would certainly be fun to see it flop.
And the fact that they wanna branch out to NFT s also made me super angry. I am not very into the nft thing anyway, but it is still annoying and unfair to all the dozens of artists who fight hard to get any attention to their works at all.
I am also in the arts, and yeah it's definitely hard, but one of the biggest challenges, is that you're increasingly competing against very powerful corporations or individuals entering arts and creative sectors even though they have no place being there and infest everything with their dumb contents. It is a massive and very unfair power imbalance.
