Hasbro Apologizes, Promises to Add Rey to STAR WARS Monopoly
We reported yesterday that Hasbro toys had decided to leave Rey out of its version of Star Wars Monopoly, and there was a huge outcry amongst fans when they found out. Since then, Hasbro has made excuses citing they didn't wish to "spoil" the film for those who had not seen it, which frankly is a lame ass excuse. I mean...I guess they added ROTJ-era Luke Skywalker because they were so concerned about spoilers and not to save money, right? After a continued round of what is best described as "corporate bullshit and ass covering," Hasbro finally apologized and said they would add Rey to their future copies of the game.

— Hasbro (@HasbroNews) January 6, 2016I really don't have any clue as to why Rey wasn't in the game, but I think any claims of sexism and all that are beyond the point. When you have a demand for a character and people asking you to include that character...JUST DO IT. Don't make excuses or try to divert to other products...just make it better! The fans are never wrong!
Just my two cents.
