[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8136512, member: 6802378"] I like the speculation about mergers and acquisitions in the entertainment industry, and my opinion is Hasbro doesn't want to sell D&D neither Magic: the Gathering because they are potentially good cash-cows. Transformers was an almost forgotten IPs until the first Michaley Bay's blockbuster movie, and nobody could guess the reboot of My Little Pony would be a total boom or success. And the last ones have been the best economic years for D&D. Now it's not a good time to buy but if you are a big fish eating a little one, megacorporations aquiring little companies too weak to survive this economic crisis. The epidemic has caused a serious damage to the global economy and even Disney is losing money by fault of the closed theme parks. Today the companies are too catious to buy. Who would buy WotC but without the main titles? 3PPs would rather to earn their own prestige as brand. WotC without D&D+M:tG has not enough prestige to be valuable. If WotC's reputation is too damage by fault of the last controversies I guess Hasbro could reuse the old name "TSR" and send there the designer team, or maybe only some changes within the executive team. I read (in reddit /merger) somebody saying Hasbro may buy Metro Goldwy Meyer, and I don't reject the idea of a possible future acquisition of Asmodee Games by Hasbro. The merger with Mattel was rejectd by this, but this doesn't mean it can't happen anytime in the future. [/QUOTE]
