1. The Leage and individual teams are separate entities.

2. The NBA is a 60% shareholder of the league and skims 60% of revenue off the top

3. Individual TEAMS are highly profitable

It would be like saying “streaming as a business has never been profitable” then ignoring Spotify and Netflix
WNBA vs. Team Profitability: Reconciling the Statements It's important to distinguish between the profitability of the WNBA as a whole league and the profitability of individual teams within the league. While the WNBA has historically operated at a loss, this does not mean that every team is unprofitable. In fact, some teams, like the Indiana Fever, are experiencing a surge in revenue and value, according to Yahoo Sports. Here's why this discrepancy exists: Centralized revenue streams vs. local revenue streams: The WNBA as a league generates revenue from sources like broadcasting rights and league sponsorships. However, individual teams primarily generate revenue from local sources like ticket sales, team sponsorships, merchandise, and concessions at their arenas. Revenue sharing: The NBA owns a significant portion of the WNBA (approximately 60%) and also takes a portion of the WNBA's revenue, leaving less for the teams and players. Currently, about 40% of WNBA revenue goes to franchises and athletes, with another 40% going to the NBA, and 20% to outside investors, according to The Washington Post. This revenue sharing model further impacts the profitability of the league as a whole, even if individual teams are performing well. The "Caitlin Clark effect" and team-specific growth: The Indiana Fever's profitability is a clear example of the impact a superstar player can have on a team's financial success. Caitlin Clark's arrival has dramatically boosted the Fever's revenue and attendance, leading them to be valued at $370 million, the second-highest in the WNBA, notes Yahoo Sports. This illustrates that strong team performance, coupled with effective local marketing and fan engagement, can drive profitability at the team level, even if the league as a whole is still working towards sustainable financial stability. Accounting practices and incentives: Some analysts suggest that leagues and teams may use accounting practices to report losses, even when they are cash-flow positive or have increasing asset value. This can help justify requests for public subsidies for infrastructure or give leverage in collective bargaining negotiations. In essence, while the WNBA as a league faces a pathway to profitability, the success of individual teams, particularly those with strong local fan bases and star power like the Indiana Fever, is a positive indicator for the league's overall trajectory. The ongoing CBA negotiations and the league's ability to convert its increasing popularity and revenue into a more equitable revenue sharing model will be crucial factors in determining the long-term profitability of both the league and its teams.

Does anyone else look at the alt text for every gif, then edit it for errors, clarity, grammar, and added context?
Just me?

Meanwhile, Sid Meier’s Civilization removes its launcher from Civ 6, announces Civ 7 will not ship with a launcher.
2K removes its pointless launcher from Civilization 6, while also announcing that Civilization 7 players will never have to suffer launching the game twice for no reason PC Gaming is beset by terrible supplementary launchers, from the rubbish EA app to the pointless Ubisoft Connect, all the way down to the digital wasteland that is the Microsoft Store. One of the most baffling examples of the form, however, is the 2K launcher.
