Yes but what happens? The video game is not maintained or released. Society doesnt care that much. It's not critical and there are millions of alternatives. | ||

Well, it happens that the company that has workers on strike at some point stops making money because of that. | ||

Magic: the Gathering is the only profitable arm of Hasbro. I don't have the specific revenue numbers, but Arena is a huge part of the ecosystem. Sure, society at large wouldn't care, but letting the Arena release schedule slip behind the "paper cards" product would be a huge embarrassment within the community of customers and content creators that fuel the MTG machine. I would be shocked if they let it happen lightly. I would be a lot less shocked if Hasbro sends in the Pinkertons to do some "persuasion" in the coming weeks and months: https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/trading-card-game/new... | ||

The point isn't about what society cares about. The company loses its investment entirely unless they bargain with the union | ||

What has unionizing and society caring have got to do with each other? | ||
