Yes, it does. What did they think Hasbro was going to do if they turned down the offer? Shrug and walk away?

I'm surprised Hasbro even made an offer, honestly. I thought they would have pressured Facebook to do something like this right away.

I'm not. Buying them would have saved Hasbro the effort of hiring developers that knew the Facebook API, getting popular on Facebook, etc. They would have instantly had a popular product and qualified developers to work on the project.
