   I'm here, and I actually read this story but decided it wasn't quite the   
   right thing for the DnD group :P

   Well, it really has been a long way down for Hasbro. It used to be that   
   WotC was that weird little hobby company with that one moneymaker they   
   bought, and now it turns out it's the only thing that keeps Hasbro afloat.   
   And I don't get how this could be in the first place. My Little Pony was   
   freaking huge and had cross-generational appeal. For a while it seemed   
   that this was something that was gonna be going on forever, and then it   
   just... stopped.   
   I'm not following MLP so much, but I find it strange they went from   
   "hottest IP on the planet" to "oh we get sloppy seconds from a Netflix   
   show and some youtubers"
