    D&D 5E Hasbro's Goldner - D&D up 50%

    It could be that D&D isn't returning as much money as other investment choices. For example, Hasbro invests $1 in D&D, get back $2.50 Hasbro invests $1 in My Little Pony, gets back $5. In that case D&D would be not as good as hoped, and the money would be better spent on My Little Pony.
