Not with _Hasbro_ they can't.
- Macha 4y agoParadox has net revenue of $1.6B while Hasbro has $4.7B. While Paradox's main business is outside tabletop games, so is Hasbro's. So they're a lot more comparable in size than you might think. Paizo is of course smaller, but googling indicates they're about $50M (being a private company, the figure is obviously less reliable), which is smaller but not "squash like a fly" small. I'd be more worried about the likes of MCDM (Matt Colville's adventure/rules publishing co) or Pelgrane Press (13th Age).
- enkid 4y agoWOTC makes up 70% of Hasbro's value, so Hasbro very much is primarily a tabletop company. https://magicuntapped.com/index.php/articles/item/501-filing-wizards-of-the-coast-makes-up-roughly-70-of-hasbro-s-value https://magicuntapped.com/index.php/articles/item/501-filing...
- Macha 4y agoHow much of that is Magic the Gathering vs Dungeons and Dragons? I suspect MTG has a much larger share of that.
- trynewideas 4y agoAmusingly, by Hasbro bringing MTG IP into 5E, it gets to be part of this discussion now too.
- ogre_battle 4y agoParadox is a publicly traded company out of Sweden. Their net revenue is great but they're not rolling in dough the way Hasboro is, and they haven't been in the market anywhere near as long. Plus there is little reason to pick a fight -- Paradox is an online publisher and has it's own slew of IPs. Not a fight worth picking, and one that might be expensive, esp. against an established player in a different market and country.
