[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8141682, member: 6802378"] Hasbro may sell WotC but not the brands D&D + M:tG at all. No kidding. Hasbro knows the future of the most of the IPs are as multimedia products: videogames, toys, media productions, comics, books, merchadicising. If WotC has got some rotten apples then the solution should be to replace those toxic bosses/management stuff and keeping the design team who works rightly. Hasbro is not going to sell D&D when this still can become a valuable cash-cow. If a big company wants to buy WotC, it also to buy or merger with complete Hasbro. RPG publishers will would rather to start from zero with its own retro-con, as Pathfinder, before than spending a lot of money for a expensive brand. And other companies would rather to create their own IPs also from zero with total creative freedom. And I don't remember a big company selling a productive subsidiary with a great future ahead. Maybe Hasbro and Mattel could try negotiate a merger, unprobable but not totally impossible. Disney could wish new aquisitions but now this hasn't been a good year, and my theory is some cultural changes for the next years will affect all the entertaiment industry radically because audence loves authors who are true fountain of wisdow but hate ideologic propaganda.
