These Games Popularity & Profitability Are Holding Steady
Hasbro Bets Big
Toy company Hasbro
Yesterday, the company launched Hasbro Gaming Crate, a $49.99 quarterly subscription service exclusively for board games.
As the first subscription service of its kind, Hasbro Gaming Crate will let the company test out unique game ideas in order to get early customer feedback.
This means Hasbro gets an upper hand in game innovation and we get more games. Sounds like a win-win.

Great Leaders Need To Make Great Decisions
The decision wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for, nor what any of
the SVPs was arguing for. It was more of a compromise than I’d wanted to
see or any of the SVPs in the debate wanted to see. It made none of us
happy.
Nonetheless, it was Larry’s decision and everyone got some work to do to support Larry’s tweak to the product for launch.
On that day, I felt sympathy for Larry. Yes, he is CEO of one of the most powerful and respected companies on this planet (Google). We’d all expect him to be powerful. Yet, his decision was a compromise, because the overall system and the overall dynamics are very complex. I’m sure that’s not what he wanted; his hands were tied too.
Observing Larry’s hands being tied, in his own company, gave me an extra layer of appreciation for checks and balances. Now several years later, at my own startup Leap.ai, there are constantly moments where I’d remember Larry’s face on that day when I sat right next to him.

I Hope This Helps The Sport Go More Mainstream
FIA to host the first Intercontinental Drifting Cup in Japan
The FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) organizes the Formula 1 World Championship, the World Rally Championship, and the World Endurance Championship. The move to host a drifting competition gives the sport a new level of legitimacy - and the FIA a new and younger audience it can capitalize on.
There are some who still look down on drifting. It is an unusual form of motorsport, combining elements of sports like skateboarding and BMX biking. Events are judged on form and style rather than raw speed and lap times. That alone sets it apart from the FIA's other championships, but the organization has brought in some experienced leaders to help with things.
Sunpros, the promoter that popularized D1 Grand Prix worldwide, has been announced as the promoter for the Intercontinental Drifting Cup. Isao Saita, the president of Sunpros, is one of the founders of D1 Grand Prix. The competition will take place over two days, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1. Exact details on competitors and final regulations haven't been revealed, but the FIA promises more news over the coming months.
