Hasbro is shedding 1,100 jobs. SEC filing doesn’t say if they will continue renting Pinkertons.

      The way union work in the US is fucked up. Anybody should have the right to join an union without having their employer approving it. Moreover, being one of the few first world country not having elected worker representatives sounds pretty bad, especially while pretending to be a model democracy

        Elected worker representatives should have rotating seats on the board of directors for any company, pass it on.

    While the movie “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” got good reviews when it came out in March, it ultimately underperformed at the box office.

    We did it, folks!

      That movie was pretty good, shame we’ll never see a sequel

      It was a good movie, well-executed and funny, made by people who understood the material. It deserved to perform well.

      Now Wizards will have to squeeze D&D even more to make Hasbro’s unrealistic revenue goals: a bad scenario. I don’t buy books by Wizards anymore, but the further enshitification of D&D should concern everyone who has a stake in the hobby, as D&D is the standard bearer and it’s unlikely Wizards or Hasbro will ever relinquish the brand.

        Hasbro might relinquish Wizards, though.

        Unfortunately, it’s likely to be to another corporate entity that will try to squeeze every last drop out of it.

      Was there any Good D&D movie ? I’ve seen one at the theatre and it wasn’t worth the ticket price, another was so bad that we use it as a drinking gamc support
