If WotC was spinned off, would Hasbro keep or lose the controll? It doesn't sound like a good idea. It would be as saying Warner should be sell DC, and Disney Marvel+Star Wars, and both spin-off to be adquired by Hasbro. Wouldn't be ridiculous? Maybe WotC could need more independence, but within the company.
And a part of me suspects this may be not only about money, but other reasons could be possible, because all the franchises from the entertaiment industry can be used to cause intentionally a cultural influence over others.
Other reason to say no to the spin off is Hasbro doesn't want to put all the eggs in only one basket. They have been selling toys, but someday the bad years will arrive. They need other options, and these are the media, the videogames, and the tabletop games for teenages and young adults. The plans for WotC aren't only to publish Magic and D&D but to focuse into the digital market. If Hasbro plays rightly its cards, they could become a new Disney empire.
