The lawsuit claimed that the overprinting of Magic sets, which apparently has increased exponentially in recent years, had weakened confidence in the brand, resulted in a temporarily inflated stock price, influenced a stock buyback, and ultimately resulted in a significant loss back in 2022, which is a lot of corp speak.

Well, apparently, there was a 30th anniversary set which was being sold for $999.

So the lawsuit was filed earlier this year.

386 | D&D Taking Over the O2, Neopets Release Scuffle, Accidental Pathfinder Reveals

It has now been voluntarily dismissed.

So you don't necessarily know what the terms that they came to, you know, whether they.

If it's something that's dismissed with prejudice, then it can't be refiled.

You can bring it back again at a later date.

But no reason has been given for why it was dismissed, and nobody's commented on it either, any of those people involved.
