[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 7822708, member: 8461"] I'd prefer that you demonstrate something to back your word up, but it's understandable if you can't. No, it looks both nitty and gritty. Lowder gave several paragraphs on the situation, flat-out saying that it was because the novels generated a profit, it just wasn't enough of one. Likewise, while he talks about some of the issues surrounding novel publishing, it's telling that near the end he unambiguously says "Overall, Hasbro was never fully on board being a fiction publisher, as that requires staff and expertise they normally would not have." Not WotC. Hasbro. Just because Hasbro has taken a light hand for other things doesn't isn't indicative of whether or not they stepped in on this issue. But we do have a plausible reason for Hasbro's decision here, one given to us by someone who's in a position to know, and whose take on the issue can be sourced. [/QUOTE]
