The same people who brought products with a comic book company's second and third tier characters.

Why do Tankers only see G.I. JOE as army men who's target demo is 5-12 year boys? In order for this brand to survive it has to become something more than army men.

It does and it doesn't. John Doe Public wants a good story. JOE fans want a good story that's true to, resembles, and expounds upons the shit Hama wrote.

Purely from a business stand point as a stockholder in Hasbro, I would want to know why the world's most well known brand of army men wasn't being developed in a video game in the industry's most popular genre, (or some other genre,). If Hasbro is making dumbass decisions like this concerning the brand, it's leaves you to wonder dumb ass decisions their making concerning the brand.
