"Hasbro seeks to sell IP"

[not-so-newguy]

This article popped up in my newsfeed. Not sure what it portends. Might be relevant to the whole Benn Riggs hullabaloo.

The short of it:

Speed Daily exclusively learned that the American toy company Hasbro is seeking to sell its well-known IP “Dungeons & Dragons” (referred to as “DND” below), and Tencent is one of the potential buyers.

At present, the negotiations are still in the early stages and both parties have not yet reached an agreement on the details of the transaction.
