Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was light, mixing product news such as new miniature factions and merchandise with an admission that a rules update was problematic. The product stories lean positive, partly offset by the rules criticism.
What drove it
- new miniatures and merchandise
- rules update criticism
