He only spoke with top D&D people like once, and it was more focused on the upcoming VTT right? If that's the case I definitely wouldn't count that as an insider.

My opinion is a licence agreement would be more logic and closer to reality.
What could happen? Tencent gets the D&D licence, and they create from zero a new wuxia IP for Chinese market (mainly). Each one of the sides could use the IP by the other as an "icebreaker" to introduce in the other makert of the other side. Like WotC could avoid the possible troubles about arbitrary Chinese censorship.

You're looking at the present. I'm looking at the future. Yes, they'd try to capitalize in the short term on the popularity of BG3 and the RG world overall. Pump it, even. Put it out there in more and more distantly related products. Lunchboxes. Then makeup. Then car scents. You push the IP until it is everywhere and everyone has their fill - and sales start to decline. Then the dump begins.
They focus their money on the next hot IP and let people forget about the overexposed, tiresomely invasive D&D line. The game continues - but with a much lower budget. Quality of products diminishes as they try to spend s little as possible while getting people to still continue buying as sales trail off. FOMO keeps people spending for a bit, even if the quality sucks. Then the IP essentially slumbers long enough that they can do a nostalgia push and do another generation. That is how it plays out in IPs that die off and come back over time - GI Joe, Transformers, My Little Pony, etc.
Hi, Nostradamus! You are speculating about an unspecified future. That's easy, because if you don't put a date to it, you can always say that it is still in the future. It becomes non-falsifiable, and thus not terribly interesting, I'm afraid.
The OP is talking about rumors of currently impending events, in the near term, not unspecified years from now.
