I'm not so sure. Whether this article is good or not is a moot point. Hasbro is publicly traded so there is verifiable information about the company available. As others have pointed out, we can see them rapidly selling off assets and IP and cutting staff. I'm not a professional analyst, but surely one could substantiate an argument for or against this decision.

Edit: Also, this decision isn't a single data point. We can look at the track record and business trajectory to make an informed decision. I am not particularly well informed about Hasbro, but based on historical stock price, industry trends and comments here, it really seems like they are fucking up

MTG and D&D both grew by like 20% last year. If they’re fucking up with managing them it’s not showing in the numbers yet.

Also it would be hard to know from numbers anyway. Maybe if they managed it better it would be up 30% Neither product has significant competition so you couldn’t even really guess by comparing to an overall market.

Broader Hasbro numbers might be a little more comparable (there is an overall toy and games industry) but still tough.

It’s often hard to tell from the numbers that a company is being ruined until it is too late.
