It is a powerful franchise and without firearms. I guess Nintendo will want total controll and maybe to create a mash-up setting mixing all their franchises. Some 3PP have created their own version of monster-tamer setting.My opinion is Disney wants to publish their own Marvel RPG not to sell more books, not even comics, but other licenced products. But I support the idea, because here the fandom has got total controll and they can, for example, the romance between Captain America and Black Widow become possible, or "recover forgotten" characters as Peter Parker's lost sister and daughter.  Hasbro could become a media empire as Disney or Warner, but not yet. A good franchise is not enough to earn with the movies. Not even the cinema studios know totally the secret to make money with the blockbusters, or maybe they are now too focused with other goals. And if they grow too much, the other companies will not renew the partnership deals. Hasbro can be very proud with WotC, not their blue-eyed boy, but their strategy is the digital market, the videogames. A lot of things can happen in the year 2022, and here we should't speculate about future merger and acquisitions, although you know I love this thread. Here Hasbro should get ready for possible surprises in the economic world. Some RPG publishers could be acquired for the value of their IPs, and it wouldn't be strange because Hasbro bought WotC for the Pokemon licence. Maybe Hasbro chooses to buy some 3PP for its original IPs only to avoid other to do it before (and then produce a cartoon serie..and Mattel selling the toys).  In a future Onyx Path's franchises could be a decent rival for D&D, but they also will need time and the right choices. I mean not only World of Darkness but other titles as Pugmire, Exalted, they came from.. and Trinity Continium. Lovecraft's myhtology is now too "public domain" and then the brand "Call of Chulthu" is not necessary. The serie "Lovecraft Country" and "In the mouth of the fear" are two examples. "7th Sea" could be adapted into an action-live production by somebody who wanted to launch an alternative of Disney's Pirates of the Caribean Sea.</blockquote>
