WotC Some Rich Dude Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" and I Refuse to Care

Re: "How much is Hasbro?"

Nope. Still not going to care. A tweet about something doesn't make it real.

If rich dude wants to rich dude, he can put his money where his mouth is. Until then, he's all empty swagger. I can get that from any random wannabe influencer with zero followers.

I'm pretty sure Musk started acquiring Twitter with a tweet and that was a lot more expensive.

This if everyone just ignored them they would be screaming into the void.

Last I heard, Hasbro's not for sale, and Hasbro as a whole is worth about $9 billion so they'll be quick to refuse Elon's proposal. Given his recent history, it would be too much of a headache to weather the controversy, even for him.

He can buy the stock though.

If he bid high enough, I am sure investors will sell.

Hostile takeover? Get enough he can appoint the board?

He could instead donate that value to charities, but we all know that that would never happen.

What makes you say that?

Not that I think he's serious about this. Everything he's bought before furthered a relatively single vision centered around space, and influence to further his space endeavors. Solar, drilling, electric engines, space vehicles, Twitter to influence people, AI to help solve problems with it, Neurolink to pilot a variety of things from a distance, etc.. Hasbro doesn't seem to fit anywhere in that scheme of elements.

Even if it came to pass (some rich guy buying WotC only to shut it down), it wouldn't really impair me. The creative minds would still be there. Sure, they might publish things I like at Paizo instead of WotC, but... honestly I don't care about the publisher brand, I care about the content.

Creative minds won't have the brand though.
