franchise whoring

Franchise whoring is a type of corporate greed. It is defined as the act of slapping a well known name on a somewhat lackluster product. This is very prominent in the video game market, where companies such as Square-Enix will slap "Final Fantasy 7" or "Kingdom Hearts" on a product completely unrelated with the exception that they include one or two characters from the original, successful product.

Other specific cases of franchise whoring include:

Hyrule Warriors
Halo Wars
Every game with "Final Fantasy 7" that isn't Final Fantasy 7.
Every game based on a movie
Every movie based on a game
Every Kingdom Hearts game that isnt Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2.
The new Kingdom Hearts 24/7/69/420 game is a stretch from the first game... Squenix is REALLY whoring out their franchise to make a quick buck...

Ever since Square and Enix merged, most of the shit that has come out the pipe has been franchise whoring

They love to beat women. They hate learning and spend all their time in their mother's basement, playing valorant or genshin impact. Again they love to beat women and moderate between 10-15 discord servers. Most of the time their heritage derives from Italy. They are really rare to encounter in the wild but when you do, take a picture!
