People like to belittle and demean things they think are a threat to their bottom line, especially if they don’t actually understand it.
Recently encountered this with people knocking FOSS as “children’s software”, clearly because they’ve already sunk enormous cost into their expensive licensed corporate pipeline and they don’t want a FOSS artist getting a piece.
Video games in many cases now cost more to make than movies / tv. And for years video games have out sold movies.

Rinse and repeat.
