In 2014 it was basically dead, in 2024 it is at an all time high, that might have had something to do with the limited impact on WotC’s numbers back then.Hedging this projected lack of impact with an “Admittedly, Dungeons & Dragons is a much bigger business today than it was 10 years ago. And it has a larger fanbase and a larger pool of radiance in which to fish for potential buyers for the new rulebooks. That could mean Hasbro will get a bigger lift this time around than last time.” is also pretty lame.How about some actual analysis, I could have written a better article than this one</blockquote>
