Quote:RIP Dungeons & Dragons. Jason Tondro, the project lead of D&D and senior designer at Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast explains that the intended audience is woke, and that WOTC doesn’t give a damn about what Elon Musk or any other “grognard” (a slur for old school players) thinks.

“I just don’t take those critiques seriously even now. I consider those people not worth listening to, so I didn’t anticipate their ‘outrage.’”

He’s referring of course to Elon Musk’s negative reaction to WOTC’s dismissal of D&D creator Gary Gygax whose creations, according to Tondro, would never pass DEI inclusivity review today because it was made by old white dudes and that’s totally problematic.

Clearly Elon wants Hasbro for their programming library once he acquires MSNBC.

let that sink in.....

I wonder how much of the Transformers/GI Joe movie franchise Hasbro gets a piece of. I figure Paramount get's the largest cut being the studio, but that has to be worth more than their gamecard division.

They better becareful before Musk sinks their "battleship"

they took away Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead and replaced it with Potatohead, added in DIE propaganda classes for employees, injected weird woke ideologies into mainstream games to mess with kids minds, et cetera....they are mostly an intellectual property licensing concern nowadays as they bought up and then sold production to foreign globalist companies and moved machines and resources to China. Gone are the days of Tyco, Parker Bros., Selchow and Righter and Milton Bradley. When just a few large global conglomerates dominate and control much of an industry, it really sucks.
