I assume that somebody, somewhere, has done the detached corporate penny-pinching to make this all make sense on paper. But this is a disastrous move from a consumer goodwill standpoint. If you have the CEO of a studio which handed you a major commercial success publicly mourning the depth and scope of your layoffs, something’s gone wrong.

    Ah yes. Hasbro, whose executives are raking in millions, have just laid off 1100 people two weeks before Christmas because “they gotta get leaner.”

    Hasbro, who tried to renege on the OGL.

    Unsurprising. A shame they own D&D.

    Never was there a more appropriately named CEO.

      Don’t forget sending Pinkertons to intimidate and reclaim cards from a YouTuber because they fucked up and sent him product yet to be released.

        I still can’t get over that. A distributor made a mistake but WotC treated him like a thief.
