Isn't Sly Flourish's discord private for Patrons?

There is a public part..... I think this was in the public part.

Did Peppa Pig come with that deal? I don’t think so. They bought something for 4000M and are selling it for 500M, that is a 3.5B loss unless they bought more than they are selling now

Sly might not be an analyst, but Forbes should have them, and they write the same thing “Hasbro is selling its eOne television and movie business to Lionsgate in an approximately $500 million deal, after having paid $4 billion for the company four years ago.”

Yes, they kept Peppa after the eOne sale. They also kept every other franchise brand.

I always liked Mel Brooks' spoof of that opening better than the original.

It's no different than Marvel: the paper products are only there to maintain copyright. The real money is in the corporate engineered BS that the public laps up regardless of quality.

The comics are there to generate IP not maintain copyright. the Toys, movies etc maintain the trademarks fine

that makes it a lot harder to say anything about the sale making / losing money

It is actually not that hard. Someone posted numbers for peppa pig elsewhere. The article is misleading.

that was sales, good luck getting profit and extrapolating value

You are correct there. But the same goes for extrapolating losses overall.
