Infogrames bought Hasbro's electronic rights and assets -- which includes Atari (yes, Hasbro did owned Atari) -- for $100M back in 2001(?). Infogrames sold back Hasbro's electronic rights for $65M and in exchange gain a 10-year license [extension?] for developing D&D-branded computer games.WotC earned $100M and paid out only $65M. Hmm. Maybe my math is rusty but that's a $35M profit.It's a cold reality that I acknowledge them but I refuse to take part in, that and cowpie throwing. I'm too violently anti-TCG and Pay-2-Play play me off.Maybe what WotC did have run its course, maybe not. Maybe the entire RPG industry have waited until WotC's campaign have slowed to a grind so they can step up to the spotlight, maybe not. But whatever happened to the industry, I have no regret being a roleplayer. No regret at all.</blockquote>
