They are toys of Star Wars created by Mattel and others by the same franchise but by Hasbro? Do you understand? Hasbro sells toys based in marvel superheroes, but also in some famous Warner/DC franchises. Hasbro has got now a good relation with Disney, Paramount and Netflix. Michael Bay's movies help a lot for the resurection of Transformers franchises. Today thanks Stranger Things lots of people from new generations know D&D. I guess Paramount has got the rights for action-live adaptations of D&D. When the deal ends, then Hasbro will have to choose if to continue with Paramount, or with Disney and Netflix. If Paramount Pictures pushs the right keys, then D&D movie will be a blockbuster and a cash-cow, and the brand will be the girl in the party everybody will want to dance with.... Hasbro has been warned "if you don't love me, other girl will love me". When the five-years deal with Paramount ends, who doesn't get the rights will create its own fantasy IP. Disney can hire an army of scriptters to write its own Dragonlance saga, and the other company also. My opinion this is like Netflix trying to "cause jealousy to play hard to get", to say: "WotC, thanks to me your D&D can become very popular and famous, but if you would rather licencing with other company, then I will publish my own RPG. Sometimes I am so fool to dare to say Netflix could buy Onyx Path to produce new series based in the lines, for example Pugmire.</blockquote>
