Dungeons & Dragons is becoming a gambling app now, and DnD fans are NOT happy about it. This is the latest in a long string of high-profile PR misfires by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast. Is this the future of DnD under Chris Cocks — a crappy mobile app?
Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast licensed Dungeons & Dragons to gambling company Games Global for creating slot machine games, with the first release “D&D Tales of Riches” coming in Q1 2025.
Hasbro’s strategy to monetize D&D IP involves pushing for crappy mobile apps and gambling games, following the success of Monopoly Go.
The company has allegedly fired everybody at Wizards of the Coast and may outsource physical games to companies like Paizo and Ravensburger.
Hasbro is investing $1 billion into video game projects, including the sci-fi epic “Exodus” starring Matthew McConaughey.
The host expresses concern about gambling apps targeting teens, as they’re more accessible than brick-and-mortar casinos.
The host suggests fans start homebrewing their own games using Hasbro products, as the company allegedly doesn’t care about the game itself anymore.
