[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8550027, member: 6802378"] Sorry, maybe my level of English isn't enough good to understand this. It is OK to listen the suggestions and think about these. The management of M:tG and D&D are too different and special from the rest of entertaiment products. Here the consumer wants a different type of things, and you can't use the same marketing strategy. WotC is becoming the goose of golden eggs within Hasbro, with a growing value. And if WotC was spinned off, other megacorporations would try to adquire it. This sounds as if anybody didn't want Hasbro's IPs became too popular and potential rival for other famous brands. I guess WotC wants to bet for the fusion of tabletop game and videogames. Using ones to promote others. Other point is not all in the entertaiment industry is about economy and money, but also cultural influence. * If WotC was spinned off, could it publish games based in Mattel's franchises? Ever After High d20, the roleplaying game!! Edit: I am thinking, and my opinion is Hasbro should keep working to create and promote their own IPs. It is not only for their interest, but also because this should be right for the fandom. The main entertaiment corporations need rivals, and like they will be forced to create characters and stories the fandom really like. And I even I advice WotC to buy IPs by other littler companies.
