These are indeed heady days to be any CEO – make your average employee’s wage by ~2 weeks into any average year; utterly out of touch with the people line of the balance sheets; 800? 1500? peons gone to keep those bonuses flowing? Why not. It makes all the sense in the world. Corpspeak is the new truth.

I was genuinely surprised when, before the End Times of Covid, that Hasbro didn’t buy GW when it was dirt cheap. Imagine all the chaos that would have caused!

Personally, I started with D&D with a white box of early small books many, many years ago. GW was at least a decade later, for me. Hasbro, to my mind, is just another CEO run corporate face. They have Hasbro stores at Downtown Disney. They plug both new and nostalgia, and take advantage of any and all crossover products to absolute perfection.

At least Lego is still private. I take solace in my own memories of space Lego and that they haven’t gone the route of IPO for gross profit.

Also, screw Hasbro.
