Dumbest motherfuckers ever

They're only stupid because sequel writers made them stupid
Because every Alien movie apparently has to have the evil corporation wanting to control, so different writers try to put their own spin on it until the movies become a mosaic of shit

Weyland was just a crazy driven guy, once he decided he wanted something he wouldn't stop until he got it, if the company carried that idea on even after his death I can see them making some pretty serious sacrifices to get their hands on a live xeno
Mostly it's just ebul corporations though

>hire smugglers to transport people in cryosleep along with face huggers in "secure" transport. Massive financial loss

You mean Alien Resurrection? That was another company because Weyland Yutani got bought out by Walmart (source: deleted scene, scientists talking to ripley 8 in the cafeteria)

I don't know what movie OP is talking about

but based on the info given, I assume it was some sort of government-corporate partnership.

in other words, they were gambling with money that wasn't theirs.

The nostromo was basically worthless, same with the dried up mining colony. The Auriga was a United States / Space ship, not an WYC ship.

the biggest finical loss we've seen WYC take was when the Prometheus blew up.

[citation needed]
The Nostromo was fucking huge carrying loads of freight, they wrote Ripley up nearly a century later when she was found for blowing it up, how does that not convey a serious financial loss? Likewise why would they send the colonial marines to LV-426 if it was just a dried up mining colony (which it wasn't by the way, they were terraforming the planet to make it liveable which is implied to be a very fucking expensive process) if they didn't care about it?

How hype would it be if Westworld was an Alien prequel?

Did WYC send lv-426 colonists to the xeno eggs right after Ripley briefed them?

Burke categorized it as a massive loss for the company. Only job Ripley could get was working the loading docs after they stripped her of her titles. It's one of the main reasons she decided to go back, Weyland would fully restore rank as an officer if she lead the expedition.

No but the Nostromo relayed back their findings through the demented Android on board back to Corporate.

They knew the eggs were there before they built the power plant there
