Don't know if I should take sides or get the pop corn.

Bad move by Wheaton. Too much bad blood for low profits. He's never going to get "full accounting" in Hollywood and risking being blackballed for $100k isn't worth it. Hollywood is an incestuous shithole of cliques and Wheaton's D-list celebrity doesn't offer him much protection from a whisper campaign. AKA, its dangerous to your career if people think you're "difficult" and only the powerful usually survive these legal pissing matches.

BTW, Legendary Entertainment who owns Geek & Sundry was acquired by a major Chinese firm in 2016.
