Honestly, they were going about this the wrong way. The real way to take the money from the bastard is selling painted miniatures, customized action figures, and releasing multiple adventures in different formats. Eat GWS lunch. Start selling figures at their scale and style them so they'll fit into the WH40K aesthetic. You have the factories already with your other companies. Why not use them? Also an official MLP Dungeons and Dragons setting might be worth releasing in PDF form or even kickstarting it. If the suckers are dumb enough to give you their money why not do it? What other IP does Hasbro out and out own? GI JOE? You probably can't make it work in 5th edition but d20 modern is still a thing. A stupid thing. Release it in that. There are still weirdos out there playing that game. You should be trying to sell them new and better merchandise. Does Duel Masters have anything cool you can plunder? There are dozens of worlds in in Magic The Gathering you can sell as settings. You don't even have to commission new art for those.

best part is all of the cards in those $1,000 boosters are considered "not-tournament legal"

even better, the art of making fake, cheap versions of expensive rare cards already exists. You can get any of those "official" proxies for $5 on Etsy. What a scam.

It's still funny to me that they have actual competitive tournaments where you can't just pick which cards you want, or alternative use a draft. It's literally pay-to-win lmao.

not-tournament legal

Too many complains for them reprinting Moxes and letting paypiggies have an (((unfair advantage)))

Lol, lmao even. G*mers really are the most persecuted class

More shit like this is how you generate more money. Release reprints of the Original Dungeons and Dragons books for boutique prices. Release Warhammer compatible D and D figures.

Re-releasing OD&D or AD&D books will make Wizards nothing. D&D 5e fans (the only people willing to give Wizards money) aren't D&D fans, they're D&D 5e fans.

they're critical role fans and soy fans and 5e is just the latest soy accessory that willl soon be tossed aside for some other thing
