The Disney Monoply

We all know who Disney is. The big multi billion dollar company that operates in Anahiem. They have their hands in many aspects of our life's today. Some of your favorite popular YouTubers are technically owned by Disney by their purchase of Marker Studio. News channels/networks like ESPN, ABC, KABC-7, are all owned; as well as big movie production company's like LucasFilms, Marvel Studios, and Pixar. Recently through Disney has signed away and purchased the streaming rights and tournament rights from Riot Games for League of Legends.

 This is a big move on Disneys part because it means the company regonizes the trends in modern society today. Esports is becoming more and more public even though Esportd has been around for soooo long. As much as I like that gaming is becoming regonized as a electronic sport, I'm concerned what this means for game developers that are now being stalked just to purchase rights to trends in the video game industry. I worried that company's like Disney, will purchase rights to video game company's and change its gears completely, screwing it up. League of legends is very true to me at this moment and I don't want it to become another trophy on the wall for Disney. It seems to me that the Disney.inc is becoming too powerful and I question if Laissez-afire should still be valid for company's like Disney. I mean they own news stations across the country where they could if they want to, make the news tunned to the company's interests instead of the publics. Just food for thought what do u guys think?
