Hasbro Exec Rolled a "1" on Video Games -- and Lost His Job
Hasbro's Wizards of the Coast President John Hight is departing his role effective September 1, likely due to the cancellation of several planned video games that resulted in a $56 million impairment charge. Despite Hight's successful tenure driving 27% growth at WotC and turning the company profitable, Hasbro is moving forward with new D&D franchise expansions including crossovers with World of Warcraft and Star Wars.
