This analogy needs some work. They killed their cash cow because they found an oil field (Steam). It's often toxic and dirty, and they let people just take a dumb anywhere on it, but it still gets them more money than any game would ever give them.

Don't be ridiculous. An oil field is a thing that was already there. They planted a field of soybeans, my friend.
But I agree, it is not the most intuitive analogy in this instance.

What's the timeline on the core DCAU shows?
Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, Justice League/JL Unlimited, and Batman Beyond?
Batman tAS says it starts in 1986, but I can't find any other numbers anywhere.

How do you fight a sentient memetic hazard?
Ethan Morris
Amnestics, obviously.
Matthew Carter
No I don't mean cure yourself from, I mean to tangibly struggle and defeat it.
Nolan Lee
Close your eyes, scream "LA LA LA LA" at the top of your lungs and flail your arms like you're trying to bring attention to a car dealership. Either you slap the shit out of it when it tries to attack you, or it gives up and runs away from a visibly crazy person.
John Lewis
Use a memetic on them directly. If they can comprehend, then they're vulnerable to memetic hazards themselves.
Owen Robinson
Yeah, that metaphor isn't great. I wouldn't say they're selling soy burgers, that implies they're still selling food of their own creation. It's more like they went from being their own restaurant to just being a delivery service for other restaurants.

But I don't wanna turn into Dragon Ball Super
