[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8896708, member: 4348"] I am taking a wait and see on Hasbro right now. I THINK that what is happening is a PR disaster and not so great all around. It makes me nervous. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT what I would have chosen, or the path I think is the right one. HOWEVER, there are probably those that have way more power and control over Hasbro and that currently are supporting certain choices. There's nothing that I could do in the face of that...or most of those here probably (beyond what is already happening, petitions, making a loud noise, etc). What I WILL note is that right now, and for the past few weeks, Hasbro stock has been on the rise. It's underperformed, but it is still going back up. This has not hurt it drastically thus far...at least from what I can tell. In addition, they just go an award for treating the employees, the environment, and shareholders in how it treats them. From a business standpoint, they are actually doing decently right now. As long as they keep this trend up, they could be doing well by the end of this year even. I think it will be the movie that will see how well they really are doing in this fiasco. If it bombs, it could be heads will roll. If it doesn't, well...we'll see from there. For the meantime, I don't know what is going to happen. I hear that people believe by unsubscribing from D&D Beyond that it will send a clear message. It may. There are a LOT of Beyond subscriptions. It would take a LOT of people to unsubscribe to make a sizeable dent in that. if you have 10 million users, I'd say at least a million would have to unsubscribe to really send a STRONG message. That's a lot of people you guys have to reach. I'm IN YOUR COURT, really, and truly. But, I don't see what the normal customer, shareholder (even the bigger shareholders that may even have a representative to stand for them, without a majority of the board and the shareholders on one's side [or at least the majority of the percentage], it doesn't matter how they feel about this), or other companies can do in this beyond what's already being done. Other than the complaints on this, right now things kind of look rosy at HAS. [/QUOTE]
