[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9156741, member: 8461"] No, it really doesn't. Looking those over, the best I can figure is that you're looking at the "Second Quarter and First Half 2023 MAGIC: THE GATHERING and Hasbro Total Gaming" entry from the "Hasbro Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results" page (i.e. your first link) and coming to the following conclusion: [LIST] [*]Magic: the Gathering earned $311M in Q2 2023. [*]Hasbro Total Gaming earned $491.2M in Q2 2023. [*]"Hasbro Total Gaming" is "all gaming revenue," "most notably" M:tG, D&D, and the "Hasbro Gaming" brand (which appears to be the same as "Hasbro Games"). [*]"Hasbro Games" includes things like Monopoly, Jenga, Clue(do), Risk, etc. From what I can tell, this includes branded content as well. [*]With a net revenue of $180M that didn't come from M:tG, most or all of that came from D&D (is what I think you're saying). [/LIST] Now, that's presumptive, since at no point is D&D's net revenue reported that I noticed. At best, you could point out that D&D has "significant growth" for D&D in Q2, while other areas of Hasbro Gaming remained flat or declined. But that's a comparative ranking which doesn't tell us anything about the total amount earned. We don't know how much Monopoly brought in on its own, for instance, nor is D&D's specific earnings tabulated.
