[QUOTE="codo, post: 8867401, member: 94626"] Yes, it looks like the Magic side of WotC was finally oversaturated the market. However they have been publishing Magic for 30 years, and have resisted pushing a glut of product for short term gains, at the expense of long-term stability until now. Lets not forget that the last few years have see an exponential growth in Magic during the pandemic. There were also massive product shortages and people were clamoring for more Magic products. WotC may have gone a bit to far, and the easing of pandemic restrictions led to a drop in sales(but they are still higher than pre-pandemic levels). Wotc took a gamble with expanding the amount of Magic offerings, one the ultimately didn't pay off, but the idea wasn't entirely unfounded. It was a bit more than a quick cash grab. Sales [I]growth [/I]is down, but they are still making more money this year than they made last year. It is just the rate of growth is lower. It's not like they are losing money. WotC may no longer be the Golden Child who can do no wrong, but they still have a incredibly profitable company with really strong growth. [/QUOTE]
