Thank you, Shirley Leung, for your letter to Hasbro to relocate its headquarters from Rhode Island to Boston. It highlights Boston’s deep connection to Hasbro’s iconic board games, which originated from Massachusetts-based companies like Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers. The piece argues that Boston offers unparalleled talent, especially in digital gaming, which is crucial for Hasbro’s future growth. While Rhode Island may offer financial incentives, Boston provides access to top universities, a thriving tech ecosystem, and a workforce essential for Hasbro’s transition into interactive entertainment. The message to CEO Chris Cocks is clear: if Hasbro wants to evolve into a digital-first company, Boston is the place to be.
