[QUOTE="ZakuConvoy, post: 145231, member: 119"] I mean, video games are kind of a type of toy. Sorta. From a certain point of view. But, I can't say I really blame them about getting out of movies. By all accounts, the people who actually saw most of Hasbro's last few attempts at movies enjoyed them. It's just that not a lot of people actually went out and saw them. Blame marketing or blame designs or just blame franchise fatigue, but it wasn't really working out for them. I can't blame them deciding to stop throwing good money after bad. But, honestly, I don't know if this is going to work out any better for them. I mean, I'm looking forward to the Power Rangers beat-em-up they have cooking, but I doubt it's going to set the world on fire. And it's not like they have any big financial successes recently in video games that they can build off from. Even GI Joe Wrath of Cobra recently went over with a great big "meh". Earning around 60's on average. Not really getting great reviews or great sales. So, I feel like they're going to find similar success in gaming as they did in movies. Unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
