While it may fit the overall strategy, I find it difficult to believe that D&amp;amp;D Insider will continue to earn net revenue on the scale Hasbro wants to see.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And the print books... each new volume has to sell fewer than the one before (in general, acknowledging that there will be certain hits). At what point will Hasbro decide it just isn&amp;#39;t worth the cost of writing and producing new ones?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2181153683994775767/1699991214028652585/comments/default/860534035033146920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2181153683994775767/1699991214028652585/comments/default/860534035033146920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thecoremechanic.com/2009/02/hasbro-q4-2008-earning-statement.html?showComment=1234330500000#c860534035033146920' title=''/><author><name>David</name><uri>http://www.purplepawn.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thecoremechanic.com/2009/02/hasbro-q4-2008-earning-statement.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181153683994775767.post-1699991214028652585' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2181153683994775767/posts/default/1699991214028652585' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181153683994775767.post-2816036084728394763</id><published>2009-02-10T23:30:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-10T23:30:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Well, looks like all the "HASBRO IS SO TOTALLY GON...</title><content type='html'>Well, looks like all the &amp;quot;HASBRO IS SO TOTALLY GONNA KILL D&amp;amp;D GUYS&amp;quot; rumors were unfounded.
