    Yeah, because Magic the Gathering: Arena has been managed so well.

    Expect any first party titles from Hasbro to be incredibly unstable, crash consistently, and never receive any meaningful post-launch maintenance updates, just more things to sell.

      And D&D Beyond is another great example - you have shit tons of material and a source that was built by someone else, you buy it and do nothing with it? And it’s not intuitive and lacks basic features?

      I’m super excited to see what kind of microtransaction laced minimal effort game we get from them.

    Nintendo used to be a company that specialized in cards, although these days it’s more associated with carts. They made a very successful transition into gaming, but still make cards in Japan.

    I can’t see Hasbro being as effective though. I’m sure Hasbro is just going to try to churn out shovelware that bears their IP so that they can monetize things they own.

      The only way it could work IMO, is the other way around: a game dev company buying them.

    Nothing wrong with a toy company moving into games, but Hasbro is an IP licensing company.
