WotC “Atomic Arcade”— WotC’s New Digital Platform?

WotC has applied for a trademark for “Atomic Arcade”. The application was made late last month, and covers:
  • Downloadable electronic games to be used in connection with computers, console gaming devices, and wireless devices
  • Fantasy role playing games, board games, trading card games, and collectible toy figures
  • Entertainment services, namely, providing online computer games and interactive multiplayer online computer games via a global network

Earlier in the year, rumours spread regarding WotC’s plans for its own virtual tabletop platform (VTT) following a survey in which they gauged opinions and allegedly showed off graphically rich 3D screenshots.

“TSDR” is the application’s status which reads:
LIVE/APPLICATION/Awaiting Examination
The trademark application has been accepted by the Office (has met the minimum filing requirements) and has not yet been assigned to an examiner.

Status:
New application will be assigned to an examining attorney approximately 6 months after filing date.

Stop dreaming, you should know better.

Also, I would think D&D Beyond peeps might start getting nervous soon.
I definitely feel like there’s something going on with licensing right now. Lots of little things seem to be building to something. I have no inside knowledge but we know a WotC VTT is coming, there were big staff changes at DDB (whose parent company is now Fandom which acquired the Cortex system and announced a bunch of TRPGs), they stopped including UA, one of DDBs co-founders is now head of development at a Pathfinder equivalent to DDB, various little rumblings on social media… it’s all just little stuff, but it feels like something is happening.

Definitely. If I had to guess they want to move alot of this licensed stuff in house. Bigger slice of the pie that way.
