In theatre business school they taught us to plan to break even if a house sold to 40% capacity. Break even at more than half empty! I don't know what "house capacity" is in games but where do we get off expecting break even at 120% and above of whatever it is? It's just irresponsible.

If Gene Roddenberry was still alive and running Star Trek, I guarantee we'd be getting thinly veiled allegories about anti-vaccine bullshit or xenophobia. It would not be subtle. It would hit reasonably hard. People would complain endlessly that Star Trek had gotten too progressive.
