[QUOTE="bedir than, post: 9712543, member: 6789971"] The only D&D mention in the Q2 2025 prepared remarks was the newly announced video game. Nothing that lost less than 1% nor grew more than 10% was mentioned at all. It was a record quarter for Wizards, mostly due to the record quarter for Magic, mostly due to Tarkir and the best selling set of all time - Final Fantasy. Monopoly GO! didn't get a dollar shout-out for the first time, and licensing (it's space) was down a tiny bit. D&D and Monopoly Go! (again, it's down) were part of the 200 or so million that Wizards made that wasn't MtG. I haven't done the algebra to see what the D&D dollars are likely to be, but the knowns are that 2024 didn't fail, because that would have been called out. We also know it wasn't 200 million, because that would have been called out positively. As an aside, Hasbro took a BILLION dollar impairment due to the tariffs in Q2. Impairment is a financial term that means a failure to meet previous goals due to circumstances outside of the company's control. [/QUOTE]
