The candy wheelchair is certainly a choice, but if their clothes consist of candy and treats, I guess that can too.

That's Capitalism. It costs the company less money to hire people outside of America who isn't asking for $22 an hour. So the company makes more money, and the people who have stocks get paid more money, all so they can keep poor people down and outsource cheep labor to line their own pockets

same. I loved that game as a kid, but I wouldn't have remembered any of the characters, except that licorice asshole who was always causing shenanigans... but I don't even remember what he looked like.

I never understood how changing a bunch of white people into black people and just ignoring everyone else is supposed to be more "inclusive."

Candyland is a stupid ass game anyways. Is it really even a game or a story? I am pretty sure you just draw cards that do stuff there isn't even interaction at all.

Ask yourself which demographic is more likely to be able to buy a $900 gaming setup and which demographic is more likely to get a freaking board game for Christmas. Then feel bad that Hasbro realized this too and adjusted their marketing strategy.

My three year old niece loved it. Wanted to play it all the time. After the 6th game in a row, I regretted ever buying the damn thing.

That and Hungry Hungry Hippos. I never realized how damn loud that game is. That shit only increases your kid-induced headache.

The consumers also win becuase their products become cheaper due to this.

And some times that is a negative cheap, as in badly made to save on even more money. But it doesn't matter. It's never going to change

Huh. I remembered them all being made of candy.

Also, they should give the new guys brighter clothes, some charm is lost if the whole thing doesn't look like an easter egg.

Not often becuase consumers then will just quit buying it. Usually.

Regardless this system benefits everyone. The company's get cheaper labor and more profits. Consumers get cheaper, more affordable products to save more money, and the outsourced jobs benefits those in impoverished country's who wouldn't have had any source of income or employment otherwise.

And there are consumers that will simply not buy it because it's not, "American" The world is full of people

With that said, I hate Capitalism and greedy people. And this isn't an American thing, it's a human thing. Not many people in this world are willing to earn less so that others can earn more. And I think it's good that other Countries that can use the work get it, but often times these people are not paid well at all and are still in bad shape, despite the company paying them having even more money than before.

It's such a trash game though. Nothing but chance if you win, it takes zero skill at all.

Might as well save your money and sit there flipping a coin to see who wins.
