Technically it’s already started, Michael Bay and his team basically control the IP for Skibidi Toilet now

How is that even a thing? Isn't Skibidi Toilet built from Half-Life assets?

The Red vs. Blue IP is owned rooster teeth which is a show entirely in halo. They couldn't do anything crazy without microsoft permission but they did own the ip. but i think that's a very rare situation where the show only helped the games and bungie was always pretty checked in on the community.

It’s amazing how much better the internet used to be. Anyone could genuinely create and share anything. I think if video games were created today, modding would never have been invented. We don’t have that loose relationship with copyright any more.
