Is Hasbro trying to be Disney the Second or something?

@Jo My guess is they’re aiming to be more of a Corus or DHX. The way the news is covering things makes it sound like they went out and also bought a record company, rather than buying a silo which happens to have scooped up Death Row Records’ catalogue to bolster its existing label. Hasbro may divest, or they may be happy for the extra income.

@casta Oof, yeah. I didn't realise it was part of eOne, which is annoying because the press were blathering on about the eOne purchase just a few days back. >.<

@Jo The reporting around this has been terrible. (Why this in particular got cherrypicked when so many outlets could have gone with “international distribution rights to The Walking Dead” is a bit over my head.)
