The brand "D&D" is the hook, but lots of 3PPs are testing, experimenting, trying a lot of new ideas. Not all 3PPs are going to live more ten years, but any IPs shouldn't fall in the oblivion. Being acquired by a "bigger fish" is lesser bad than total disappearance.
It is good for D&D to have a a worthy rival as Pathfinder by Paizo.
If D&D becomes one of the most important "cash-cow" within the entertaiment industry, then other companies, for example streaming services, Hollywood producers, comic publishers and videogame studios could start to be more interested into IPs by 3PPs. If, let's guess, Disney is furious because the licence of D&D is for Paramount in the next years, then they could aquire some licence, for example Pigmure by Onyx Path to produce an animated movie.
