The Business: Hasbro Gets Sued By Shareholders

Pat reports what we want for G-Dubs next.

This is some Mammon Mob fuckery, but it exists because of the damage that the Death Cult did.

I fully expect this suit to fix nothing. There will be a settlement, no blame will be taken, some chairs get shuffled, and--at best--the Death Cultists get purged while the Mammon Mobsters remain and entrench. There just isn't any external party, or collection of parties, other than (maybe) Games Workshop able to apply the leverage required to get any changes worth a damn.

The end result is that Conventional Play just loses differently. The collapse can't be stopped; WOTC can't be killed from inside, and it's going to take more than a shareholder lawsuit against Hasbro to kill it from without, so The Only Game That Matters (and its Network Effect) ain't going anywhere. Get in the Walled Garden, or seek admission to the Clubhouse. Otherwise all you're going to do is quit by 2030 because Conventional Play won't be able to justify itself; those left will lose to superior media that does Conventional Play better.
