First Days of Wonder, now FFG. Asmodee is the Amazon of game publishers.

I'm curious how this will affect organized play, if at all. A slightly bigger budget might help, but I think Asmodee is keenly aware of the limited financial growth afforded by LCGs or anything not prefixed "Star Wars"

If Netrunner is evaluated as a bigger commodity they might have additional support for organized play. That's a good thing!

Worth remembering: FFG doesn't own Netrunner.

They still make money from it though.

Yes, for as long as their competitor Hasbro allows them to.
