@horgen: Value-based corporate culture became a widespread theory not too long ago and some businesses are slower to adapt to this change. They were looking for a skilled professional to fulfill project goals, he is a skilled professional, but his behaviour contradicts the present day Disney view of who they are as a team. Basically, it's like keeping a very smart accountant who's a toxic person: you can focus on productivity or you can also estimate the negative impact of personal views on overall morale of the employees. Disney is a business functioning in highly competitive industry, they must take their brand image into account to attract and retain talents. A lot of great actors could drop their offer if they do not want to be associated with a brand with, let's say, questionable reputation. Can they go too far in that? Well, there's a possibility, but the market will influence that anyway, if they see a huge drop in revenue due to this or similar decisions, they'll have to adjust.
From the point of view of business, it's called adhering to company's values. We can judge it as much as we like when it comes to a release of a movie we were waiting for, but that's what we all want done at the workplace. If they declare a position, they have to stick to it. Yes, these values change over time and they were not so concerned with these issues before, but maybe it's better to high-five them for trying to rebuild a consistent company culture.
We vote by providing their revenue, they can be fine without a golden dude by their bedside. What's the problem with making popular movies that actually deserve an Oscar?
I have never taken "a break" from gaming. Not sure if can last long. But I have noticed, that I'm getting very picky and do not enjoy as much as I used to. Always associated that with growing older and thought it can't be reversed. I should reconsider this
