This is the reason shareholders want it spun off. Shareholders see WotC getting record sales with very little investment, but that income isn't becoming money in their pockets, because it is being used to support the rest of Hasbro. They don't see it reflected in share prices, not in dividends. But if they spin off WotC, the company on its own would see that record income become record profit, which can be reinvested in WotC itself-to raise share price- or taken as dividends -money given to shareholders-.Hasbro doesn't relinquish something once they get it. I would be greatly surprised if they cut out WotC, especially since it wouldn't surprise me if WotC was quite a huge chunk of their income. I wouldn't be against it, but I don't see it happening.
