Can’t have anything nice apparently :/

It’s Hasbro. This is part of their Blueprint 2.0 strategy to monetize everything.
Maybe it’s just years of labor organizing, but I’m deeply unsettled by this for some reason. Surrounding the consumers on all sides with crosshairs centered on them gives me a bad vibe.
Corporate doesn’t just want a lot of money, they want all of the money.
The original 1965 broadcast version of A Charlie Brown Christmas special, a 20 minute rant against consumerism, had scenes like Snoopy crashing into a Coca-Cola Sign. Because advertisers paid to have their ads built into the show itself.
Thanks! What site do you use to clean the tracker off of links?
I think if you get the video from Duck Duck Go, you can copy the link without the tracker. Plus, I think Firefox gives you option to “copy link without site tracking” from most search results
Hasbro.
This is disgusting.
They have been performing horribly quarter to quarter lately, and so pretty much all of their product lines have had shit like this happen. Nerf has no springs and shoddy plastic, Wizards of the Coast are dropping a ton of middling-popular products from production, even their Marvel line has really taken a hit to quality with bad fabrics, cheap printing, etc. Everything is being cut to the barest minimum to try and claw back their profitability.
… It’s stunning they can’t seem to connect the dots, really.
It feels like MTG has a crossover/cash grab every other month. It’s just too much.
They tried everything but making a better product.

I just don’t anymore.
I don’t buy a wire- or mechanical- puzzle I make one. If I want a tile-based game (think scrabble, qwirkle, rummy) I make them with upcycled junk and paint markers.
I don’t buy bread or pizza crusts or tortillas, I make them. I can make a month of bready products in an optimized hour of work for 1/30th the price.
I play indie games by inexperienced developers who charge $4.99 because I’d rather try new mechanics even if they fall flat.
I’m currently precipitating copper into an aqueous solution on my stovetop and later I’ll try electroplating the copper onto some random thing. Because this is free and fun AS FUCK. Forget going to the arcade or to a pre-packaged event show or movie.
I am just drifting away from everything that’s not hand made. Fuck it already.
Nothing. Is. Sacred. If we had any form of functional government they wouldn’t be stuck 75 years behind on progress and dumb issues like this could be taken care of. The only chance of this happening now is some random gov official doing it as a PR stunt.
Gotta get the kids started on associating themselves with our brand now. Subvert the competition asap.
Just wait until toilet paper real estate starts being used.
I would pay good money to have toilet paper with the face of my previous middle-manager on it.
Sounds like a money maker. Now just as AI to it and you’re set with your 2025 business model
Who the hell is buying The game of Life nowadays? Boardgamers don’t touch games with roll and move mechanics and small children are too screen addicted to play a board game. The only target market are probably clueless grandmas but even they are too savy to buy a boxed waste of time like this one.
TIL I’m a clueless grandma…
