That's fair. But some things feel more legitimate than others and a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted.
But for this specifically we should be seeing some hard data eventually, right? In a report for investors or something.
Don't forget the cost of their obliterated reputation and tanking Hasbro market capitalization and the effect it has on every other product they want to cram down Timmy's throat. Considering that, and if these numbers are true, it was a catastrophic loss.
It's some allusion to Nazi shit. 88 being representative for HH, heil Hitler. I forget exactly what the 14 is for. But you see 1488 commonly with neo Nazi supporters.
The 14 comes from the 14 Words, which are two white nationalist slogans popularized by David Eden Lane. "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children", and the less common follow-up "Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth".
Yeah was about to say that for Singapore, it was 800 on sale and 9 were sold, and data was clear as day on Shopee, so it was wierd that this didn't include it.
idk anything about making products or logistics or whatever, but 14,188 seems like an extremely odd figure to have as your maximum possible number of sales.
I don't believe the "attempted sales" portion, since I know *many* individuals who wanted to test the site/waiting portion to see if it'd crash/die like past events.
But if this data is true, they made a cool few million on it, and have a bunch of promotional boxes to sell at Magicfests/give to people.
This is probably a win in their book.
I have been following that account for years, you have only read the profile, you might want to not assume things before commenting.
What must be questioned here is not that twitter account, but the original source, from which they have taken the screenshot.
Any idea where the alleged source of the data came from? Thanks ahead.
They made it up bro. Must be new to Twitter
Source: dude trust me
Well, this is a subreddit about rumors xD

“Before the world finds out tomorrow”? This is dumb
While I'd love to see WotC eat a heaping pile of shit on this product, I doubt this is true.
So they roughly made $2.3 million from the product
If this data is legit, they did way more than 2.3 million worth of damage to their PR.
That’s gross profit, **NOT** net profit.
Correct. I do not know how much they put into producing it.
Not a ton considering they didn't need to design, develop, test, or commission art

The real magic was the customers we lost along the way!
Selling 15% of your stock that is marked up 975% is not a catastrophic loss.
You’re right; it’s the goodwill damage to your balance sheet and your stock double downgrade that’s the real kick to the dick. BoFA buttfucked them.
Commission – no, but they probably did have to pay royalties, since magic contracts in those early days worked differently.
Sure, but it seemed like the advertising budget was greatly increased for this flop...
gross revenue, not profit :-)
Sure. :)
Oh no, only $2.05 million in net profit. WOTC owned and destroyed.
I believe you mean revenue.
It does not include the sales data for Asia. And I'm going to question anything I see with 14 and 88 in it for the next few months.
please explain the 14 and 88 - apparently I am oblivious

Some dumb Neo-nazi stuff. 88 is “Heil Hitler”, 14 is something I can’t remember.
Yeah was about to say that for Singapore, it was 800 on sale and 9 were sold, and data was clear as day on Shopee, so it was wierd that this didn't include it.
Asia using round numbers as their allotment also counters this rumor.
That is about as clear an indication as can be that this is trolling.
I don't know why the next few months, but I won't deny that instantly made me give pause.
idk anything about making products or logistics or whatever, but 14,188 seems like an extremely odd figure to have as your maximum possible number of sales.
I 100% know this is false. You guys a gullible.
I have my doubts but this looks better than what I expected.
If it’s not mtglion, I’m not buy in’ I need a more trusted source

Eh I don’t know if it can be considered a win considering this was a least a contributing factor the the BofA downgrade on Hasbro’s stock.
MTGO Salseo Creadores de salsa y humor. Proyecto de E-sport. Might want to check your sources before posting bud.

This looks real to me.
It's a canary trap. I think Wizard's put it out, knowing Rudy would carry it, which he did, in an attempt to discredit him.
> before the world finds out tomorrow It's tomorrow; where is this supposed corroboration?
