    Let's not forget it has no DRM either. AAA studios told us that no game can do well without DRM

    The funny thing is I (and probably many others) didn’t even consider pirating it. It had great reviews and was readily available pretty much everywhere without any obvious drawbacks. So I spent full price for it.

    My point; DRM doesn’t matter if you produce and sell your game in a consumer friendly way.

    Corporate isn't going to take away the lessons we might hope. Folks at corporate at going to ask things like, "how much money was left on the table?" They can only fuck things up through paying attention.

    The takeaways that will make it to the steering group PowerPoint:

    • VideoGames based on our IP sell better than expected.
    • Sales of our other digital products follow suit
    • Larian Studios did this with minimal oversight
    • No reason to assume any and all VideoGame products based on other IPs would not follow similar pattern
    • Call to action: Fund additional Hasbro IP based VideoGames.
