Profit increased by 99% with BG3?!

lol

License residuals are money in the bank, but they are not productivity. They are not a measure of the profitability of a company's core business.

How long can the rest of Hasbro remain a problem before the board removes Chris Cox when they realize he can't replicate FIRE with the rest of the company. BG3's crumbles may have saved Chris Cox for now, but what about next quarter and the quarter after that.

The truth is Chris Cox got lucky at WotC and rode that to a promotion, he can't give the rest of Hasbro the FIRE treatment and the Board expects it, he won't be able to dodge that forever.

FIRE was a disaster, I dont know if they cleaned up/fixed MtG yet.

I see the stock price took an absolute kicking though.

FIRE?

 

[Velderan]

FIRE?

That was a new acronym to me too, this seems to explain it.

FIRE?

They intentionally pushed Standard power levels, to the point it was warping eternal/legacy formats, and essentially trashed a working ecosystem for short term gain.

Yes, we are screwed on that point, at least for the present.

A good reason to have a diversified portfolio.
