[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8605524, member: 6802378"] I was asking about the hypothesis about if Hasbro is acquired by Microsoft, and Disney by Apple(this really could happen if Steve Jobs was live), then Hasbro and Disney wouldn't be "good friends", and that would affect the licences. Of course I may be wrong. Microsft wouldn't acquire Hasbro without a good reason, because this hasn't strong links with videogames or software but mainly IPs. Hasbro has had got more contacts with Disney, but now a lot of things are happening behind the curtains, and now Disney may be not an advisable associate. Maybe in a future we could be NFC figures that would allow you to download PDFs or digital content about TTRPGs, and also skins for videogames. [URL='https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/48643/comics-tags-introduces-digital-comics-cards']I read about a company who wanted to sell cards with digital comics.[/URL] Pathfinder doesn't worry about piracy because all the crunch is published freely and legally in SRD and the archives of Nenthys. And in Open Gaming Store you can see a lot of titles by 3PPs with Pathfinder system. Paizo is the closest company to be a serious rival for D&D. I wonder if Hasbro will want to make money with its own videogame metaverse, created by them, or acquiring other company. Even they could publish licenced version of cancelled online videogames, something like Sonic Speed Simulation in Roblox. * In the next April Fool they would announce a new character for Beast-Wars, a hamster maximal, as Ratrap. * If Dragonlance is rebooted, then the war of the lance could continue for more years, to allow adventures by spin-off groups, not only Tanis and company. * I like to speculate about crossovers, they are crazy ideas, but it is fun precisely because they are so crazy. And Hasbro likes to make money with licencing. [/QUOTE]
