once they're in the hole enough, canceling the studio lets them write off their losses on their taxes, so in a way it is new money. still deeply stupid though.

If its power is lower than 2, put another one on." - something to tell the story of "turning babies into ninjas" a little more explicitly. (idk i'm not a pro at magic but you get it - just a kicker with more tmnt flavor)

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Baldur's Gate III had a nonzero amount of funding from Google's Stadia, and was announced at a Stadia event! Then Stadia shuttered so I'm not even sure how much of the bargain they had to hold up lol
