[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8941449, member: 6802378"] Let's remember Disney is making more money with the movies, toys and videogames of marvel superheroes than the original comics themself. Why not Hasbro can sell toys of D&D and other type of merchandising products? For example Ravenloft can be used for horror comics and novels published by independient companies. When the writer is good, indie horror comics can be sold well. Paramount is wishing D&D to become the rival of Star Wars and Marvel franchises. It is possible if they do a right work. Most of D&D videogames haven't been very succesful, but when one of them worked, then they have got a new cash-cow. Hasbro is making more money with M:tG but D&D is better option to become a multimedia franchise. Disney wants to publish its first TTRPG, but they are "rookies", new in this industry. Of course the next step will be Star Wars, maybe even allowing a sourcebook about "Legends/Expanded Universe". We don't blame them because they wanted to earn more, but because that was not fair-play. And it was an insult to our intelligence. I thought they have forgotten customer satisfaction and they were testing my patience to know how many I was willing to pay. They had to remember their goal had to create a good product, not about how to milk us more. And now it may be the worst time for a mistake like this, when even the biggest megacorporations are firing people. Not even the acquisition by a bigger company is a good plan B because we can't know who will survive the economic crisis. [/QUOTE]
