Probably 9/10th of the folks on this board could tell you that doing a G.I.Joe RPG would be worth taking a shot... Nope, no Joe RPG <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />. My money says they have all ancilary rights and just haven't realized they could pass some of those on to those whacky litttle card guys out in Seattle and get some modest income for them. And I do mean modest - given all the other ways they can exploit the lisence, writing an RPG has got to be close to the worst return on time invested.Also, with a 10 year lisence, they are commited for a while and clearly expecting more movies to happen - probably 6 more of them. It's not the worst business move to sit back and study the demographics of the first movie before moving on this particular front. Even moreso than Lord of the Rings, this iron is going to be fairly warm for a long time.</blockquote>
