CDPR is a publicly traded company with a clearly represented shareholder structure. A collective known as “Other” owns about 65% of the company’s shares. CDPR upper management have a fiduciary duty to this entity. This duty was honored when they decided to release early. They knew that the hype train was so intense that whatever they released, it would sell like icy lemonade in the Sahara. It’s not like they didn’t have access to Sony devkits and shit, they knew the performance was sub-optimal. They’re not dumb. They were just OK with temporary backlash that would eventually get amended with a successful anime, some patches and DLC.
Now on to actors. Actors, whether A or Z-list, work for a flat fee and maybe royalties if they got really really lucky. Once they have completed their performance, their end of the contract is complete. They get paid and that’s that. They just wait for royalties to be exercised (if they have them).
Having said so, the idea that Keanu’s agents hold any post-payment sway in comparison to the collective that owns literally more than 65% of the company is a bit silly. This is why you’re getting a little bit of backlash on what you have written. Especially in that you did not preface your original comment with “Hey, this is a theory, a game theory”.
You have not said anything of any worthwhile meaning. Your comment serves no purpose other than to garner upvotes. Can you please be specific?
