Magic lawsuit over overprinting cards voluntarily dismissed, but Hasbro still on the hook

Hasbro has had a lawsuit dismissed without prejudice regarding allegations of misleading investors about overprinting Magic: The Gathering cards. Plaintiffs Joseph Crocono and Ultan McGlone filed the dismissal on February 17th, allowing them to potentially refile in the future. This case, initially brought in Rhode Island federal court last month, centered on claims that Hasbro's actions could negatively impact the collectible card game market. The lawsuit accused Hasbro of overprinting Magic cards, a practice that can devalue existing cards by increasing supply. Investors are concerned that such overproduction might harm the game's market and Hasbro's financial standing. By dismissing the case without prejudice, plaintiffs may be gathering more evidence or assessing their strategy before pursuing further legal action
