Seems like every newspaper article where you get a title and half a paragraph before a pop-up stops you and they want you to pay a subscription.

Found a source and changed the OP.

Wait... the article says that WotC "counts Dungeons & Dragons and the Pokemon trading card game as two of its notable titles"...

Good to know newspapers are still great at fact-checking.

Wow. As a Pacific Northwesterner myself, I'm sad to see them go. There's a LOT of creative folks up in Seattle.

Apparently the building they are moving into is still in Washington state, just outside of Seattle.

Some people just can't move past the 90's.

I've been rolling my eyes at "news" articles ever since I was in high school and the local paper reported a "gang-related stabbing" that happened at my school and went on to describe how this "good kid from a good home" had "moved to the inner city" and "gotten involved in the gangs".

I was there for the event. A stupid jerk cut another stupid jerk kid with a swiss army knife. The "stabbed" kid didn't even need stitches. Neither were involved in any gangs, which weren't actually much of a thing at my school. This is Vancouver, Canada, we're talking about, not East LA. (I'm not saying we didn't have gangs, but not the way the paper was implying, and neither kid were involved in them).

No mention of this little unknown game named Magic the Gathering....
