[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8876905, member: 27996"] Hasbro/WotC are just trimming the fat imho. In the investor call Cocks said that on the hasbro side they were trimming everything down to just 8 profitable core brands, and focusing on them. Letting go of e-one and trimming the video game side just seem to be part of that. They don't really need their own movie studio anymore now that they seemingly have sorted out the rights for D&D films, and have gotten one made. They can outsource that going forward using the connections they made doing Honor among thieves. More of the same for the videogames side. They have spent tens of millions acquiring these studios - they need to start paying off at some point. Hasbro/WotC is just trimming down and focusing on high percentage money makers. Come 2023-2024 WotC is going to unload a lot of digital, film, and tv content for D&D. And they really need it all to stick the landing and make money. [/QUOTE]
