That sounds like a few steps to far. The studio is still part of the legacy of Walt Disney the person.
The problem is the people who are running the company and disrespecting Walt and his legacy.

I doubt the entire staff agrees with Iger. They’re just in no position to do anything about it.

Why not say “f Iger” instead? He’s the one who does the exact opposite of what Walt would do.

Besides putting employees out of business and harming the independent creators community, using AI to make content is like copy-pasting a Wikipedia article and handing it in to the instructor as a completed assignment.
Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI and will let the AI platform use its characters to make social-media videos.

I miss Zoom, Between the Lions and Dragonfly so bad, not so much because I want to be a kid again but because my generation was probably the last whose entertainment was meant to help kids learn in the time slots when older kid cartoons or the ones you didn’t like were on.

...games solely on the number of awards they receive, then we may as well hand over all ideas for future video games to "rage-bait influencers" for approval before anything gets made.
Because my friends, at that juncture, the past time of video gaming will cease to mean anything at all.

While I am always willing to try a new experience, I know what I like in a video game & do not feel guilty about playing them because of it.
And neither should you.
If you've taken enjoyment from a video game you have played, then that game has done its job.
Nothing else matters.

...scores & game awards are wonderful things for them to have, to be sure.
But they're byproducts.
The most important thing for a video game to have is the enjoyment it gives to you in your experience playing it.
This is the main reason why I am (largely) uninterested in The Game Awards.

...best video games are those that you enjoy playing. Now, obviously, "the best video game" is going to vary from individual to individual, but the basic principle still holds.
Because, my friends, video games have a singular purpose; to entertain.

OK, given some of the comments and quotes I'm seeing on the TL today about this, I've got something that I think needs to be restated.

But hey, we can get the big 35th Anniversary title revealed in the next State of Play. Alongside the Free Sega Characters we can expect in Crossworlds in the spring.

Going completely blind to Sonic's 35th will be interesting, to say the least.
Should've won Best Sports/Racing game, but I was fine with Mario Kart World winning since both games do something unique the kart racer formula.
Wouldn't be complaining that much if Sonic 3 got nominated though.

Take a listen to MARBLE ZONE, a brand new remix from Sonic the Hedehog (1991) by Labrinth.
This is made for the The Game Awards Spotify Singles, which intends to put a spotlight on the composers and songs that define the gaming experience.

The other day a prospective client hit me up to narrate a youtube video. He said ‘I tried AI voiceover but didn’t like it, so I’ll pay you to do it.’ I performed the script to my best, turned it in, and he said ‘Oh yeah this is way better than the AI’
