That's a bit shocking. I kinda thought it had levelled off. Shows what I know.

I dunno much about how they figure the numbers, but BG3 is probably driving a lot of that. It is for ”D&D the brand” after all, not just the TTRPG.

Yes, I believe the profit portion is driven by BG3, as its pure profit for Wizards.

Yes, but licensed games, which also includes the Monopoly phone game, was up less than half of D&D

But it was my understanding that because of recent mismanagement, WotC was crashing and burning.

Almost like recent issues are far less important than were suggested….

According to the article linked in the other thread, D&D grew by 18% and digital gaming is accounted for separately.

I don't know what "the other thread" is but that claim isn't supported by the investor slide deck as presented.

D&D grew up over 100% per that deck (but that's the full brand which includes things liked the BG3)

I was responding to "the profit portion" in the post I quoted. According to this article Wizards of the Coast revenue up $120m amid Hasbro slump, the tabletop revenue is up 18%. It's separate from digital games, which apparently also includes a monopoly mobile game.

I'm just pointing out that D&D is still profitable, still growing.

WotC tabletop revenue includes Magic the Gathering
