They had to go silent on social media for two weeks during a period when they had both the movie and two book releases to promote. That is contradicted by every earnings report we've seen for the past 10 years from WotC. That's not at all true. Hasbro is struggling to turn a profit. Wizards of the Coast as a division is very profitable due to Magic: The Gathering and to D&D, which helps offset Hasbro's losses in other areas. M:TG, D&D, and Monopoly are Hasbro's money-makers.</blockquote>
