CBS on their part, was trying to get Main Vendors to go with the changes, several didn't, besides the video game and a few merchandise products that surface. This supports the earlier mentioned of JJA wanted CBS to drop all the Prime Trek merch for their Kelvin and alt look for their Trek. CBS never allowed that request.References was made by some product staff to the TV series about the changes to the Enterprise. Then such airings were scrubbed off the internet by the direction of CBS, reason...they did not want any future vendors to be aware of such changes had occurred. That is a bit of a red herring, cause of screen captures or word of mouth, some folks know the full truth.Soooo, the quieting was successful to a point, but the visual evidence from the movies after 2009 and tv series, shows otherwise.The Picard series is the closest thing to Prime Trek, but there is still variant styles shown in the show.  One example of this, at Starfleet Headquarters, the holographic display of the 'TOS' Enterprise was from the Discovery series, not from the original TOS representation.  Second example, was the showing of Picard's Room of Memorabilia...the showing of the Stargazer, the captain's Yacht, and the Enterprise D were given at least maybe around 4 to 8 seconds viewings, on the left side of the room, on a shelf, was the Sovereign class, port side viewing of it, from the back half of the Saucer section to the lower body to the nacelle and to the aft end..that viewing was under at best 1.5 to 2 seconds.The only way to see the entire length of that ship, you have freeze frame that corner when it comes into view. Why was the other ships giving a longer viewing time than the Sov? It is the small things that linger like this...brings the questions. So yeah...you are not going to find the discussions of the 25% variant unless you go to YouTube or wherever else that keeps that issue alive. But it was heard earlier in the beginnings and then was quieted when CBS wanted a go with the series for their Streaming services, as a company who wants to make profit, yes...they will do what is necessary to quiet any discussion on what changes had occurred.UPDATE--Just saw a vid blogger piece on the possible happenings that Seth McFarlane wants to buy Trek from CBS for NBC. Supposedly a two hour meeting, ended in a half an hour. CBS wanted too much for it, but there was a general agreement on both sides to what licenses will go to him, if the deal had gone through.The only exception was--- Bad Robot/Secret Hideout, their unique license stays with them.Here is the <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/01/30/rumor-the-orvilles-seth-macfarlane-and-nbc-walk-out-of-star-trek-sales-meeting/" target="_blank">link</a> of that article. Stated as Rumor.</blockquote>
