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

Franchising

Franchising is the act that is usually, but not always, commited by an African American when he has multiple children from different women with the hopes that one of them might strike it big as an entertainer.

Andre: Yea man this is my 6th kid.

Mason: Congratulations man thats awsome. All with the same woman.

Andre: Hell naw, you know I be franchising and shit. Six babies, six mamas.

The Franchise

1) more than a man... or so he thinks. However strong, smart and good looking, the Franchise is nothing compared to his girlfriend.

The Franchise likes to believe he has a large penis.

Poverty franchise

A scumbag team full of scumbag fans and players who only really care when in contention. A franchise who used to have glory but clearly has been out of the glory days for so long that half of their “fans” who cheer for their team three nights a year have no memory of the glory days because they’ve sucked for so long.

The New York Yankees are such a poverty franchise dude. It’s hilarious.
