Hasbro tried the video game business back in the 1990s. They bought Atari assets and name in 1998, and Microprose as well, and became a pretty major player, but it flamed out. Video game development/publishing is a tough business.

I forgot about them buying Microprose. I feel like that was all part of the two cancelled X-Com games that were in development around 2000 or so.
