This is an important card what shouldn't be ignored.I would take care a lot if I was a company wanted some deal with Tencent, because it could become a "pact with the devil". I don't know Hasbro's past experience in the Chinese market but I guess they are going to think twice before risk again.Now it isn't the best time for Tencent, it is not the right time to be a shark acquiring other companies as if these were smaller fishes. They don't need the D&D brand when they could acquire some 3PP what publishes a retroclone.And now the global economy is too fragile to risk with mergers and acquisitions. Now they are too busy trying "to save the furnitures" ( = avoiding worse damages) to worry about expanding. There are some signs the Chinese economy is going to suffer one of the worst economic crisis in decades. I wouldn't bet for that horse in the next race.Maybe Magic: the Gathering is the superstar, the blue-eyed girl for Hasbro but you shouldn't put all the eggs in only one basket, and D&D is too necessary as an alternate plan if the main one starts to fail.* I doubt investment funds (BlackRock, Vanguard PJMorgan..) were happy an American franchise being sold a Chinese megacorporation. Then they would order to be sold to other American company, for example Microsoft or Amazon.</blockquote>
