The way I see trophies is, they have a huge impact on the game and upset the balance greatly right now Doesn't really seem like a hard task to tune them down and make them less meaningful.
While reading through this again I was thinking, maybe the maximum amount of trophies for a studio should scale up with the fans studio has made Fans is pretty much the only statics we can compete in while trophies break the balance of glory.
Also really like the idea of "training trophies" which could be implemented for studios under certain amounts of fans, though then, would they stop making movies to abuse this system xD? Better not make these trophies too game-breaking as well
