WotC Who should own Wizards of the Coast if/when it is sold?
Solution
Doubt it will be sold, but if it was I can only think it'd go to a video game company. Analog gaming companies just don't have the same level of clout, otherwise Hasbro would never have been able to buy WotC in the first place. Despite a lot of complaining about Hasbro, I don't think it's really been that bad for D&D. Ideally you want a company that just takes a cut of the profit without interfering too much with the business itself.

Who should own it if it's sold - me. Prepare for more Dark Sun than you can handle, plus everyone responsible for the 4e FR book doing the Game of Thrones 'shame!' walk along a major road near you.
Who will own it if it's sold - Amazon or Netflix.
Will it be sold? No. It's making Hasbro an absolute mint right now, with very low overheads. Why on earth would they get rid of it?

I don't think so...
I'd say it would go to the highest bidder...
Who SHOULD own it...well...harder question.
Ideally, the fans...which doesn't necessarily mean D&D fans...I think MtG fans (and yes, there is crossover between the two) may have more of a desire to control the game...

To be fair, selling a business when it is red hot is generally the best time because that's when you get the best sale price. If the business is doing terrible, no one wants to buy it.
