[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7709198, member: 37579"] Well... that and MtG makes [I]all the money[/I] while D&D chugs along producing a token amount of cash. MtG makes so much money an above average year for that game will boost the entire "games" division of Hasbro. I've described D&D's money as a rounding error when compared to MtG. WotC [I]is[/I] the [I]Magic the Gathering[/I] company and D&D is just this vestigial little subdepartment, likely smaller than the overall company's legal department. They don't mention D&D there, so it could be different board games. That said, he mentions a D&D AR game. Which is the catch. He's very likely referring to "D&D" as the brand, not "D&D" as the Tabletop Roleplaying Game, which is the centerpiece of said brand. They can make a multitude of D&D digital games and products, and none of them could impact D&D the roleplaying game. In the same way there's a multitude of Marvel Based video games and small properties, but almost none touch on the comic (apart from the digial comic reader app). That's a bit of a stretch given the actual quote: It sounds more like they're talking about the reporting/ event ordering & store finding system. [/QUOTE]
