owner of Hasbro afaik doesn't even like D&D and has never played it

[–] efrique@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a publicly traded company. It's owned by shareholders. You may be thinking of the CEO.

I'm sure he is quite right that the CEO has never played D&D though. Or any other game. He was produced in a lab and spends every waking moment (which are all of them since they engineer CEOs not to need sleep) devising ways to be an even more terrible facsimile of a human.

Yeah, Monopoly is more his kind of game..

Fun fact: Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game and was made by a Georgist to illustrate the inherent unfairness and ruthlessness of capitalism and especially the exploitative nature of land ownership.

Then ruthless capitalists made a couple tweaks and made vast riches selling a derived but legally destinct version celebrating the very things the original vilified before being bought out by Hasbro who now control D&D.
