But strictly speaking, the quoted argument isn’t proof of a company’s size, it’s a function of the company’s role. I think lots of countries have laws to require political approval for the sale or purchase of businesses in key industries (military production and banking are just two that spring to mind). A business doesn’t need to be gigantic to be strategically important.Anyway, this whole convo whether Hasbro is a megacorp or not is moot. It’s a “megacorp” relative to everything else in this very niche industry of TTRPG publishing, and it’s also entirely irrelevant whether the term is appropriate or not. Someone used the term, maybe it wasn’t quite accurate, but that was never the point anyway, just that Hasbro is the only large company in this industry. “But it’s not large enough to be mega” doesn’t really matter here.</blockquote>
