Sure they could have taken her to court but right now they don't want the bad publicity, especially since it would put everything else in the shadow of such a scandalous "story". Better to just back off, let S.J. win and move on and start planning on they're gonna spend all that paper money they got with announcement of a new, more advanced model. It's a financial decision and a fairly predictable one. I'm glad she won this time.

Paper money from the model they're giving away for free?

She also won big against Disney. They backed down even though it appeared the contract was on their side. Iger apologized.

I mean if you don't think these kinds of positive announcements don't increase the value of the company or parent company then I don't really know how to convince you as it's a standard business principle.

There isn’t a positive announcement here, what is wrong with you?

This reads like “we got caught red handed” and doing the bare minimum for it to not appear malicious and deliberate when the timeline is read out in court.

I believe there's a difference between building a sustainable and profitable business and pumping the stock.

Probably (and rightfully) feared that, had Disney stuck with their position, other MCU actors would be much, much harsher in new contract negotiations - or that some would go as far and say "nope, I quit".

They announced a whole new model, that's a positive announcement.
