If what Mearls says is even remotely true, how bad of a position would D&D be in right now if they were solo? Layoffs, restructuring, or even looking for another buyer? Changes like this show the short sightedness of the "we're the big dog, let's drop those Hasbro financial losers" mentality.Hasbro brings a level of financial stability to help weather contractions and expansions like this. Without stability and long term planning, very minor market changes can cause huge problems that make smaller companies struggle.</blockquote>
