Should WotC buy a Fantasy Novel Publisher like Tor next?

[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7843906, member: 6802378"] Maybe Hasbro would buy a comic publisher or some 3rd Party because this has got really good ideas about a new IP. In the next years Hasbro could try to buy Mattel again. My April's fool the last year was saying Hasbro had bought Paizo and Games Workshop. I was kidding, but I think it may be possible some day. WotC doesn't want to publish other TTRPG.... yet, but I would bet they are working in a d20 Modern 2.0. because they want to publish adaptations of famous franchises, not only by Hasbro, the "Hasbroverse", but also superheroes comics (someones from the golden age are public domain now) and videogames. Tabletop games is the product for the teenages who don't play with toys any more because they are too old. And I also imagine WotC game designers using computer simulations to betatest new types of games with d20 as mass battles or skirmishes between warbands, investigating about the right level of power among playable factions with different technological level (for example a group of primitive tribesmen against invader corsairs with firearms in the setting "Red Steel/Savage Coast", a Mystara spin-off). Why not to buy another game company as CMON, the creators of Zombicide or Massive Darkness? Other option can be to buy franchises, as Power Rangers among others. Some canceled videogames could be perfect to board games, or tabletop games fused with mobile apps. [/QUOTE]
