[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9570166, member: 6802378"] Possiblely it was to create a disctration, and then we are here with the sthe true target for a future acquisition is other company, maybe a videogame or a cinematographic studio. If the years of good economy return then the consumer will enjoy more money to be spent in hobby and entertaiment, and this should mean the franchises and IP will be more valious. If Elon Musk wanted he could buy some "little" publisher to release its own retroclone, or order to some videogame studio a new videogame style "Baldur's Gate 3". If he wants to be the owner of the D&D brand, we need a good reason, and the money can't be enough. Other option could be to use a more subtle and indirect method. Let's say he has "friends" with a great power, and these are going to become the new owners of the main investment funds. Then these new owners could call Elon Musk to be a consultant within WotC. Or a new consultant within the company could obey the orders by Elon Musk. Why? Because those peoples want to earn "soft power". If D&D is played in the rest of world then the brand be used to influence culturally in other societies. For example a Japanese players thanks TTRPGs not only learn to work with the rest of the team but also he starts to realises how a true leader should behave. Later in his job he can notice sooner when his boss is closer to be toxic authority or a right leader. [/QUOTE]
