What The Hell Is Hasbro Doing With D&D and MtG? With Amanda McLoughlin Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

Most states in the US have a minimum working age of 16, so you gotta start considering what companies are doing with that labor. A great example of a company we should consider is Wizards of the Coast, how they’re further monetizing the games they make, and the financial documents where they’re showing their entire profit-driven face. Former financial worker and only person who still has a soul and knows how to read these documents Amanda McLoughlin joins us for our first official episode of Games and Feelings and Workers Rights.
