Really Chris Cock up?
COcks: driving out costs, driving up share, and then driving growth? ???? Translation: Firing the competent employees, increasing prices, Lowering Stockholder Share value and decreasing Growth. Yeah, I'm sure making phone games to try to get that micro transaction money is going to solve you bombing Hasbro in your Q2 Financial Statement Report Chris Cocks. What happed to those top income 20% True Customers you bragged about at that Boston Globe Interview? You gonna go chase those top 20% income guys in phone games now?

I wish they would focus on getting their products into stores so we can actually buy them. But I guess that's too much to ask.

Hear hear. I'm not looking forward to an all-digital future- the "half-digital" present is annoying enough.

Yeah, gang. Infantile jokes from middle-aged men are definitely the appropriate counterpoint to a strategic business decision rooted in fact.
C'mon y'all. Take a look at yourselves. I vastly prefer physical games (and abhor mobile) as much as anyone but unless you have evidence to say the CEO is wrong about this market being low-to-middle risk and high-profit, you sound like fools if all you have is 4th grade dick jokes.

Even so, what did you expect from middle aged men that collect toys? Get off of your high horse. Let's not make redwoods out of rhododendrons.

As much as people complain about a lack of physical releases, in a lot of the world cell phone / mobile gaming is the ONLY thing. China especially.
There's a reason companies like Tencent are so gigantic in spite of having a minimal visible footprint in North American gaming. |

There's a reason companies like Tencent are so gigantic in spite of having a minimal visible footprint in North American gaming. Personally though, I come from a retro game cartridge collecting background (mostly NES/SNES), and in fact only joined the "modern" gamers with the Switch, because it scratches that itch with all of it's collections and remasters. It sounds as though the next Nintendo console is set to follow suit, but I'm fairly certain the next console generation will be my last. I left physical films and music behind more than a decade ago, but when it comes to print or video games, I'm physical for life.

That's certainly true, and I'll be the last person to act surprised that this is the direction being taken, nor will I even go as far as to say that I think that it's the wrong direction.
