    2. @basscannon It's quite right. Hasbro confirmed that because of how popular the series is, and how well fans seem to stick around, they have to make less episodes to keep the fans in the fandom.

      1. @omni Uh...Phrasing it that way is almost the exact opposite of Hasbro's sentiment.

        1. @ceruleanspark Huh? Really? Am I that bad at reading comprehension?

          1. @omni nn, it makes sense.

          2. @omni Because the show is hitting its profit targets, they can make less episodes and not lose out on toy sales was what they said. The sentiment was actually that fans don't matter, only profit margins.

            1. @ceruleanspark I mean the guy used the word amortization. That's pretty much archetypal corpse-speak right there.

            3. @ceruleanspark Ah, I see. Well, thanks for fixing my statement there!

              1. @omni Given the level of deification that people already lavish on the people who work on the show, I thought it was important to make it clear that Hasbro only cares money, not fandoms or people.

                1. @ceruleanspark I mean if Hasbro cared about basic human decency they wouldn't have allowed the Battleship movie to happen.

                  1. @ceruleanspark Clearly they want us all to suffer!
