Maybe this or that product is good, but not wanted by the most of consumers, or it is too expensive for a lot of players. Hasbro wants to bet for the variety, to offer different type of products linked with the brand, for example toys bought by adults as gifts for the little children of the family. Hasbro could be dreaming the action-live movie to cause the start of a "D&D-Mania", like Star Wars, "Jurasic Park" and the first Tim Burton's Batman, but nobody can safe this to happen. They shouldn't risk too much.They have to understand where were the mistakes of the failed project from the past. Maybe the cartoon movie of Dragonlance was too violent, or only ninty minutes weren't enough to tell a lot of things from the books. Hasbro should get ready for a plan B if the genre of fantasy start to be too "burnt and wasted" and then the fandom start to search other things. WotC shouldn't put all the eggs in only one or two baskets.If D&D becomes too popular, then other megacoporation could try to acquire Paizo or other 3PP searching the potential value of the IPs.This is not only about how much the players want to spend, but how much the players can spend. Even the best products can't be sold so good in the years of economic crisis.</blockquote>
