Monopolies are bad. In theory, capitalist markets are meant to self-regulate to ensure they don’t come about, but in practice, they’re an inevitability that requires state intervention to prevent. Disney, one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, is looking to expand its reach and become a “gaming giant,” perhaps by acquiring EA. But this would be bad for players and EA workers.
Disney owns an absurd amount of IP. Not only can it pull from the classic animated movies we all grew up with, but it also has access to many of Fox and Marvel’s properties, which include the likes of Alien, The Simpsons, and the MCU. At the moment, Alien and Marvel games are made by a wide range of studios, meaning we, the players, get a regular, diverse mix of games to play. If EA is the only studio making all of Disney’s games, we’ll barely get any.
