[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5426899, member: 6667746"] 1. CN has vastly thrown out what made it popular, Nickelodeon now has DBZ to compliment their own popular Avatar. AS was probably kept as a cheap way to keep some older people without completely alienating all of their viewers in their recent demographics switch to a younger audience. Disney does still have to option to air the D&D cartoon featuring Willie Aimes as Hank the Ranger et all. All 3 of these networks have moved form TOON Disney (Disney XD), CarTOON Network, and NickTOONS to promote and develop live action programs. Sort of confusing to people like having WWE wrestling on the [s]Sci-Fi[/s] SyFy channel. HASBRO's HUB channel has a few programs like Deltora Quest that are in the same direction as D&D along with their A-Team version GI Joe called Renegades. So they may be moving in that direction to place something related to their own products when they can get a decent foothold in this market of what is remaining on TV as opposed to what is being watched online and on iPod and downloaded etc. 2. HASBRO is a toy manufacturer, did they produce MacFarlane's or did someone else? If they did not, then why would they want his company to do it for them? 3. Didnt they have a Magic the Gathering manga? Maybe they see as many others in that industry that comics are dying if not dead already in their current format. At least US comics are while Asian comics are taking a foothold. 4. Would you compete with WoW? Console games would also be beter thqan PC games in today's market. 5. Didn't someone recently (past year) say that the D&D team was split into RPG team and board/other games team? Spreading yourself thin like this is what caused T$Rs downfall. Granted WotC has HASBRO to back it up financially, but I am sure they would rather spend money elsewhere than on failing products or diluting one of their brands worse than they have done with many of them recently. D&D has become the Jell-O of RPGs. [/QUOTE]
