D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

I don't trust it or distrust HASBRO's financial reports.

you should be able to trust that the numbers are correct or at least what Hasbro believes they are

I just don't see the point of assuming and proclaiming over and over and over again that it's all spin and they're hiding something especially when the only thing I see spin on has nothing to do with the actual books being produced.

spin does not mean that they have to hide failing sales numbers and D&D is close to being shut down due to lack of sales, it simply means they portray it in the best light possible

D&D is such a minor aspect of their business I see no reason for them to be deceptive about what's going on.

WotC is a significant part of Hasbro, esp. when you focus on the profit side of things rather than revenue, and while D&D is nowhere near as big as MtG, it is pretty up there in terms of products Hasbro has, probably their second or thirdmost profitable product after MtG…

I think MtG is pretty important to HASBRO, but the D&D books? Not so much. Video games an other non-game entertainment do have the potential to have significant impact on the company's bottom line.

I so think Beyond is important to the investors..which is why they keep talking about it.
