[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8601105, member: 6802378"] Today GW's franchises could suffer some troubles and misunderstanding, and being victims of "cancel culture". Hasbro isn't interested into to sell wargame miniatures, or at least, there is more interest into videogames. And we are in the age of the 3D-printers, it is not now the best time to sell expensive miniatures. WotC doesn't need nor Warhammer Fantasy neither Age of Sigmar, and W40K is more difficult to sell than G.I.Joe. I have seen a teaser of the cominsoon action-live version of "Monster High", a Mattel franchise being produced by Paramount. This means the partnership between Hasbro and Paramount if it is renewed then with different condictions, no exclusive, but more a "open relation". And this could allow partnership deals with other companies, for example Warner (with a purge among the CEOs after the merger with Discovery) and Disney(this losing of lot of popularity in the last weeks). Hasbro doesn't need GW when there are other companies with their own IPs, and maybe these may be a cheaper option. * Hasbro could publish a new "Star Crusade", but based in other setting, for example with races from d20 Future, with other name (trademark owned by others) and with an app to be the IA for games with solo players. Zombicide by CMON has been sold very well. Avalon Hill could try something like that, but based in Gamma World, not only zombies but different type of monsters. [/QUOTE]
