☆ I'm Ford's global director of sustainability, and I think adopting electric vehicles could strengthen, not strain, the power grid

While the answer isn't simple, Ford is introducing solutions to turn this grid anxiety into grid confidence. The power of V2GWe are working on turning every Ford EV into a virtual power plant that can be part of a collective power-grid solution. This solution could help mitigate energy shortfalls during peak usage hours when the power grid would be strained. Ford's collaborations with Duke Energy and Pacific Gas and Electric are great examples of how V2G technology can revolutionize the way we consume and distribute energy. We're doing our part at Ford to make these solutions realities — for both the power grid and our customers.

☆ Frustrated Magic: The Gathering fans say Hasbro has made the classic card game too expensive
  + stars: | 2023-02-09 | by ( Travis Clark | Max Adams | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Magic: The Gathering fans are upset with how much product Hasbro has been releasing. Some game shop owners have had to sell cards at a lower cost — meaning they lose money and Magic loses value. At this point, given the huge costs to keep up with the game, fans felt that they were rightly concerned that Magic was becoming a luxury hobby. Hasbro's Magic: The Gathering strategy has alienated a lot of longtime fans, LaGaccia said, which has left many game shops with unsold product. Some fans have moved on from Magic to other card gamesSome Magic: The Gathering fans have found alternatives.

CNBC obtained copies of Hasbro's reformed licensing agreements — open game license 1.1 and an FAQ section for OGL 2.0. Leaders in the Dungeons & Dragons community greeted the news of the delay with cautious optimism. The attempt to create a new game license comes as Wizards of the Coast looks capitalize on a surge in popularity of Dungeons & Dragons. Chaotic neutralThe reworking of Hasbro's open game license is not an unexpected move for the business, MKM's Handler said. There were growing concerns that the community would fracture if publishers were forced to move away from the Dungeons & Dragons game mechanics to develop their own gaming systems.
☆ Hasbro defends Magic: The Gathering strategy, says 'there is no evidence' cards are overprinted

Photographer: Mark Abramson/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesHasbro is defending its strategy for its popular Magic: The Gathering game. Williams said the company typically spreads out its tentpole releases of Magic: The Gathering card sets in two-month intervals. She said Hasbro prints and reprints cards based on demand both during presales and once the product has been released. But Cocks said that he doesn't think raising prices on Magic cards is the answer to expanding the business over the long term. Hasbro's most engaged Magic players are those who play both online and in-person at local game shops or with friends.
