The big problem with your theory is that there are probably many more of us that DON'T care for Mr. Peters, haven't giving him a dime and still thoroughly enjoy watching DISCOVERY.
Could this be set in the Kelvin timeline?

You're mistakenly equating Discovery's being good with it being prime universe.The big problem with your theory is that there are probably many more of us that DON'T care for Mr. Peters, haven't giving him a dime and still thoroughly enjoy watching DISCOVERY.
And you're mistakenly attempting to contort my post into something that only fits your notions about the show.
How about in the future you express your opinions without twisting my words into thoughts I obviously don't share and never intended them to mean.

I just view it was what the prime timeline would have looked like if the old powers that be had today's VFX and $8 million an episode to spend. It's not trampling on anything in my opinion. Those episodes of TOS aren't going anywhere. The arguments you make aren't really different to how people felt about Enterprise when it first aired.
If it really bothers you, just put down the visual differences to influence from the temporal cold war or even the result of the Enterprise - E's journey back to 2063. I think a good way to explain the visual differences and keep people happy would be to explain that Section 31 found wreckage of the borg sphere or the Enterprise's deflector dish or whatever and it led to subtle changes in how federation starships were designed.
No, you put yourself into the category of people I was talking about, which I don't believe you fit into.And you're mistakenly attempting to contort my post into something that only fits your notions about the show.

CBS couldn't use the Kelvin-verse easily even it if wanted to. Kurtzman said using the Romulan disaster in the Picard series has issues that need working out. A merger with Viacom would solve many of them, I guess.

Also, just because Midnight's Edge attached a bunch of BS to the 25% thing doesn't mean Eaves made up what he said. Attaching lies to bits of truth is a BS artist's MO is it not?
CBS could probably use the old Enterprise if it wanted to, but for reasons, Eaves was told to make it 25% different. Those reasons could have been purely creative, or there could have been more.

His Facebook was set to private, not deleted, it's been back open now for a few months now with new posts.
CBS said it was for creative reasons.
I can't imagine the Late-DS9/TNG Film stuff being changed to the degree that anything TOS was. First because it's more recent, and second because John Eaves designed it all. He might tweak his older work, but its style is going to be along the same lines.
I know, but is that really the whole story? I'm skeptical.
Yes it is.
Your original theory and/or assumption As I read it, was that folks who like DISCOVERY and have no problem with it being in the Prime Timeline, are apparently also the type to fall for Mr. Peters money-making schemes.
So therefore, they should be prime candidates for CBS to get to buy into their All-Access payment plan.
I am a person who very much likes DISCOVERY and pretty much accepts that it IS the Prime Timeline, but have not given any money to either of those entities.
You then took a post of mine and twisted it, in another attempt to fit it into your apparent pet-theory about "Trekkies".
(Again, As I Read it)
You are the one "categorizing" people with your posts.
I simply indicated that I do not wish to have that done to me, either by left-handed means or by directly having my posts misinterpreted.
Eaves has also since mentioned the 25% thing again, but changed his tone, saying it was for creative reasons not legal.
"25% Different" is also slapped on one of his pieces of concept art shown at conventions, and maybe in one of the books? I don't recall.

Why do you say that? I can hypothesize that merchandising could be easier if Discovery's Enterprise is it's own thing.
BTW, I don't think Disco should use the old model for creative reasons, just like it shouldn't use consoles with candy buttons.
His work has thus far, at least from Generations on, been timeless. Anything he designed in 1996, could be introduced in 2019 and still look like modern scifi. I'm not sure if that's because he was ahead of the curve, or because he set the trend.
Oh that's what I meant. They want it different so they can sell it under a difference licence.
They're still selling Merch with the TOS Designs, there is a new TOS novel coming out this year with the TOS Connie, not the DSC Connie on the cover, because it's a TOS novel, not a DSC novel.
Do you have a source on that? I'm curious.
It was months ago on facebook, it would be hard to find.
Noooooooo, not at all.
My post was about CBS putting the "prime universe" stamp on Disco to entice the fringe of continuity obsessed fans who hated the Kelvin movies simply for being in an alternate reality and heralded the Axadebacle as "True Trek"
It wasn't about Discovery's quality at all or a sweeping statement about all prime universe fans or Discovery fans.
Then it seems I have once again been a cruel casualty of Internet Befuddlement by reading more into your posts than was intended.
My apologies.
