[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 4413673, member: 51325"] Yeah. WOTC is in real trouble.... I mean, if D&D tanks, that means their main source of revenue... Oh wait, they sell a little game called M:TG. Apparently, some game called Duelmasters is doing so well in japan that it actually gets called out by name in that recent Hasbro transcript (given how many properties Hasbro has, exactly how well must it be doing to rate mention?) Well, if the RPG being the second source of revenue...Oh wait... They have this game called DDM. Apparently, it ALSO outsells the RPG books easily. Apparently, a lot of people LIKE random collection of miniatures and pushing pieces of plastic around a board...... Well, maybe it is their third source of revenue....Er, doesn't their novel line basically have a license to print cash (seriously, take a walk to your local bookstore, count the number of WOTC published fiction books....the novel department is stomping the RPG department into the ground).... Well, ok, having their 4th brand tank could cause a shakeup at the company.... Wait...serious question time now. Is D&D the RPG even the 4h biggest source of revenue for WOTC? They also are in charge of Avalon Hill, Heroscape and Duelmasters.... Yeah, somehow I don't think WOTC is looking for their lifeboats if D&D tanks. Beside, the Dreamblade fiasco (which they seem to have weathered) and the recent changes to M:TG are WAY more likely to cause problems. [/QUOTE]
