We look forward to sharing our 2020 new gaming plans for Magic and D&D on February 21.

Magic: The Gathering revenues increased more than 30% in the year, behind double-digit growth in tabletop play and a strong first year for Magic: The Gathering Arena. Dungeons & Dragons revenues grew for the sixth straight year, and we are meaningfully investing in both brands to drive engaging storytelling, while developing new digital games with high margin profitable growth longer term. We look forward to sharing our 2020 new gaming plans for Magic and D&D on February 21.

In addition, for D&D, we did see our sixth straight year of growth. We are seeing about 150 million hours of content viewed on Twitch and YouTube, which is up nearly 50% year-on-year. In the first half of 2020, we are seeing a lot of new initiatives coming for the brand, but again I'm going to let Chris walk us through at at our Analyst Day, our plans for digital gaming, which are again substantial for D&D that begins in 2020.

You'll also see great digital game development for D&D. And we will see you on February 21 to outline that.

Update: Blah, Blah, Blah...
Okay so the 21st has come and passed. What's the news? Nothing of importance that I could find with respect to VTT.
Hasbro and WotC want to concentrate on video games. Good. Hasbro, keep your mitts off VTT. You can only mess it up.
The announcement - five year plan.
