At the moment, though, I’m stumped. I have no idea what Hasbro is doing. Yes, there are financial elements at play here. The company itself has had a difficult year. But the sheer severity of these layoffs and the senior roles they are targeting is beyond the pale.
I’m actually not surprised. The main owners of Hasboro, which owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns DnD, are financial groups that are all about pleasing Wall Street and its paranoia.
