WotC loses Pokemon

(1/1)

Fellfrosch:
The unspoken subtext of this article is that Pokemon wasn't doing them any good, so they made a low offer and didn't argue when it wasn't accepted. This will certainly be a financial hit for WotC, but it offers them the chance to free up some people and resources to fill in with a better game.

Interesting, though, that the press release mentions all their other CCGs except for Harry Potter.

Tage:
Strange. Isn't Harry Potter their second-most popular CCG?

Spriggan:
I'm surprised about the Pokemon but since it's dead in Japan as well there's no real reason for them to make it.

Fellfrosch:
Based on a few things I've heard, I'm pretty sure that WotC has a very restrictive marketing policy with Warner Bros. regarding Harry Potter. That may be the reason it wasn't mentioned, but it's not a very good one. It is, as Tage said, they're second best-selling game right now.
