Hasbro Double Downgraded by Bank of America.

[Zardnaar]

They just did an insane Amazon dump, like prices below what not just LGS get products for, but below what distributors get it for.

They just screwed the entire MtG ecosystem. Folks are flipping out.

I think this could lead to somekind of class action lawsuit.

Anyways below is Rudy's thoughts.

Haven't they got heaps of unsold stock or something?

Step 1: Hire someone outside of roleplaying to run the brand
Step 2: Flood the market with unsold merchandise.

Next step: Expect a Buck Rogers RPG any day now.

On what grounds could this possibly be a class action lawsuit? Being upset/being a jerk =/= justification of being suing/being sued. Unless there is a contract that Hasbro wouldn't sell these direct, I don't see how anyone could sue. Free market and all that.

I don't know your laws, but at least in my law "unfair administration" is a crime (but if you work in the goverment).

Understanding this is not very easy for me. If there is a buble about the cards of M:tG then they had to have realises about the signs of danger. They are the first ones who should know what is sold better and how many.

I knew the secondary market was on trouble. Eg new product was being sold cheaper than distributors could get it. On some product.

That's the latest set afaik so ouch. Side effect of killing standard maybe.

They did ask recently why people no longer play standard.

Not just gas, rocket fuel then salting the earth where the market once stood.

This is why I think WotC is opening themselves up to legal action, they sold a ton of Dominaria United and other sets to distrubutors with the understsnding that the distrubuters then sell to LGSs who sell to regular folks, then a couple of months later they completely under cut the price to below distrubuter costs. No way that can be legal.
