does MCP even like chess

I think MCP liked chess once, long ago, but then got bored with it.

And moved on to other games that also involved manipulating many pieces, except they were alive and therefore more challenging.

The scenes where he announces that he’s going to try and attack the Pentagon and the Kremlin simply because he’s “bored with corporations”… that’s a creature who was made to be forever unsatisfied with the games he currently gets to play.

That unsustainable eternal drive for more (also expressed in his constant absorbing of other programs) makes him such an embodiment of the whole corporate mindset…

…I guess Disney was unwittingly putting self-insert villains into Tron long before they introduced Legacy-era Kevin “I created a world and then abandoned it” Flynn.
