Remember when D&D was sold to a gamer and then he turned around and sold it to Hasbro

So here's the issue.

Shareholders, at least as of late last year, were pressuring them to sell it. They were also pressuring them to sell eOne (their movie/TV arm, which is surprisingly profitable, it owns Peppa Pig and all sorts).

Hasbro refused to sell either.

Except then they changed their mind on eOne, and Hasbro is now actively attempting to sell it.

It's entirely possible Hasbro will decide WotC is also worth either selling, or spinning off, which is what the shareholders want.
Its possible that all the bad press this move is creating will encourage the shareholders to put forward those arguments again.

The annual shareholder meeting isn't until June, I think, so it might not matter unless people are otherwise publicly threatening to or actually selling off shares ands using that as the rationale.
