Or… hear me out… they just make their products suck less and affordable.
One or the other. Quality tends to cost more money. Fast food is cheaper than fine dining, but you can tell the difference in quality.
Problem is the Studios charge a lot for crap.
Fast food used to cost less than fine dining. I discovered last week that my local Italian place is now cheaper than a meal for four at McDonald's.
Well that's the second stage isn't it.
Start off by being the cheap and cheerful option, then raise prices and justify it by diversifying into more high quality products, and actually do that, create better quality products so people think the price increase is actually acceptable.
Then slowly cut back on the higher quality products and go back to your basic service but don't change the price.
You see it in food, you see it in streaming services, you see it in video games. Remember when Call Of Duty was actually good?
Yeah but they're all so currently remodeling their dining rooms for second time since COVID.
And also I think they forgot to do the part about the quality products. The The quality went down in 2019 and it has never come back they Jack the hell out of the price and keep going.
It's like they think the reason people aren't going there as much as they used to is because the dining rooms aren't pretty.
Preferences are debatable and some people actually like that crap you don't. F.e. I never understood American hype on "superhero" movies. I'd sooner watch American wresting which may be more plausible than any modern superhero movie
