So if I understand correctly Hasbro is, single-handedly, responsible for the whole internet, right?
Man, they really fucked this one up...

First Beyblade Burst and now the Internet as a whole? What next Hasbro, when will the madness stop?

I mean it started off pretty damn cool. Maybe we just can't have nice things.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I dunno. There was a LOT of fucked up shit on the early internet.

Ya. I think I tuned out about the time they started allowing emojis in domain names.

It's pronounced Zombocom.

You mean the company that sic'd the Pinkertons on a fan/reviewer because they sent him the wrong thing in the mail? That Hasbro?

Can you tell me enough so that I can search for what you are talking about?

Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn't been released yet.

I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

If you're going to start a story with "yea", then you have to follow it up with "it came to pass" or something like that.

[-] redbr64@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Oooh I thought you were just alluding to the pinkertons lol

Is this a user agreement?

Can we still break it so that they can disband the internet? IS THERE STILL TIME??
