Not to mention him becoming a princess for big parts of this Co-optional Podcast animation. Incidentally still talking about Love Live The Queen.Disturbed-Hell said:Actually, there was art of that from before the buyout thanks to his (albeit unwilling) playthrough of Long Live the Queen:Hero in a half shell said:So Totalbiscuit is a Disney Princess?

Only if we can get those keys away from Amazon, I guess.Sniper Team 4 said:So...can we just give the keys of the world to Disney now and call it a day? Because they seriously own everything now it seems. Star Wars. The internet. Marvel. Er...Disney, I guess? So yeah, all they need to do is buy up the manga/anime market and they own everything I care about. And they're not exactly doing a bad job, although Star Wars remains to be seen.
None of those channels are owned by Maker Studios. They're just partnered with Makers' networks.Not G. Ivingname said:http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/disney-buy-youtube-video-producer-maker-studios-23047351
All these guys, and more are part of the Polaris "youtube network." Polaris is the gaming arm of Studio Maker network, which includes a lot of other channels (such as Epic Rap Battles of History).
Studio Maker will be bought by Disney for at least $500 MILLION dollars. They will also get $450 million dollars bonus if they meet some "performance targets" (which shouldn't be that hard, since all of Studio Maker's channels get 5.5 BILLION views a month).
So, yeah, loads of people who makes tons of money by swearing a lot are going to be owned by the house of mouse.
I would be worried, if it wasn't for Disney's hands off approach to Marvel. They should understand that Pewdiepie would lose all his subscribers overnight if he couldn't say anything stronger than "darn" and had to play Disney Infinite all day.
Thoughts?
But it's still another step that helps separate the social elite from the common joe even further.Brian Tams said:This is actually good for them. The problem with Youtube and the copy right trolls has always been that the little guy just can't compete with these big corporations who's very expensive lawyers can just push you around. You can't outspend them, so they had to basically submit.
Now the House of Mouse can pinch hit for them in the courtroom, and they get all their expensive lawyers to boot.
I think that step was realized the moment the masses became reliant upon mass-streaming services hosted by a multi-billion dollar company.Khanht Cope said:But it's still another step that helps separate the social elite from the common joe even further.
