[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9235780, member: 6802378"] We can agree we can't agree. My opinion is Hasbro shouldn't lose of sight the franchise Batlezoo by Roll for Combat. If the product was right, Hasbro could earn a lot of money with a D&D version of collecting+training monsters style Pokemon or Digimon. With the right software tools, D&D-Beyond could allow solo-mode. This mean D&DB working as VTT but also like the option of CRPG. But I am afraid Hasbro and Roll for Combat don't trust each other enoughly to reach a collab agreement. What a pity! Maybe something is fault by Hasbro. It is not only too linked to Disney franchises, but now cartoons aren't on TV but in streamer services, and this means no all the children watch the same shows. Some times I have been in a toy shop (searching Hero Quest board game, or something to buy for my nephews) and some figures of marvel superheroes by Hasbro were like produced by a pirate/rip off company from Asia. And even if the products were right, now fewer children are born, and these would rather videogames. And videogame industry is a risky bet. Now BG3 is the current superstar, but we know several titles failed and fallen into the oblivion. And the videogames get old very poorly too soon. And if the last year the economy hasn't been too good, then you have to sacrifice spending on leisure. Hasbro wants to bet for multimedia franchises, and this shouldn't be a bad strategy, but this may need a lot of time. Even if WotC did a right work, this hasn't been a good year for Hasbro. * I wonder if Hasbro should talk with LEGO or Playmobil for any possible merger. [/QUOTE]
