    So it sounds like nobody in this thread looked at the actual article.

    This isn’t chic-fil-a. It’s the homophobic bigoted billionaire asshole who has turned a town south of atlanta georgia to a 2.7 billion dollar movie making industry by building a movie making compound. He’s trying to usurp hollywood. His studios have been the filming location for many major blockbuster movies in the past several years.

    The article even mentions that the guy has sold 200 homes to the tune of 110 million dollars right by the studios so obviously he’s diversifying beyond chicken.

    If there’s a market for christian shit i’m sure he’ll capture it, but i’m sure they will focus on what sells. Maybe they will try to be the epic games of streaming services where they undercut the competition by hiring cheaper labor and taking a smaller cut from the people who pay to use the studios the guy owns.

    Unlike steam, nobody loves netflix, disney, hbo or any of the awful streaming services there are now. Even crunchyroll which is a bargain has a fucking awful app and streaming quality issues. Since you don’t “own” the movies on the platform you rent access to there’s no lock-in or cult following like there is with steam. Because of all this… people will go to whoever provides the best service.

      Seems you read an entirely different article…

      Chick-fil-A is reportedly launching a

      but that is apparently what Chick-fil-A (yes, the fast food chain) is planning to do.

      Deadline reports that Chick-fil-A is

      Chick-fil-A has yet to announce or publicly comment

      All the article OP posted mentions, beyond saying Chick-fil-A is doing this, is:

      But it feels important to bear in mind that Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family, whose independently managed trust was instrumental in the foundation of Trilith Studios – the Atlanta studio most well known for its frequent work for Marvel.

      I’m not disputing what you’ve said about who’s actually behind this; but to talk down to everyone here like that info was already given to them is rather shitty.

      There is and he absolutely will. The market for “Christian” specific everything is huge. People that buy that sorta shit also generally don’t know what a good product actually is so costs can be cut and noone’s the wiser.
