[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8912548, member: 6802378"] They should understand the market of the TTRPGs and the mind of the roleplayers aren't like videogame industry and gamers. We are geeks but not stupid. After several games we have to smarten up if we want the survival of our PCs against the tricks and traps by mercyless DMs. We aren't so easy to be tricked or manipulated. Their work is about to sell the type of products we want to buy, not about to try to change our minds about what we should want to buy. And even when we accept to spend our money, earned after hard days in the work, we don't want to feel scammed paying more really necessary. Hasbro could become in the future one of the heavyweight within the entertaiment industry, (even to the same level of Disney or WarnerDiscovery) and this is not only economic power but also the potential impact to influence in the society for the cultural war. Not always is only because economic reasons. My suspects are we don't now not even the half of the facts, and behinds the curtains more things are happening, a secret soap opera, or a spy story. Other suspects, and fear are if WotC was spun off, then this would be an "easy prey" and acquired by some "bigger fish" of the entertaiment industry, for example a videogame studio, or a Hollywood producer. Then WotC wouldn't be really free, but the opposite,[SIZE=3] controlled to be used as a propagandistic weapon, to influence in the public opinion. [/SIZE] Maybe M:tG is actually the main cash-cow and source of income by Hasbro, but D&D has a better potential as multimedia franchise. This is better to sell different type of products, for example videogames, comics, novels and toys. [/QUOTE]
