Message: <blockquote data-quote="Benjamin Olson" data-source="post: 8868866" data-attributes="member: 6988941">The natural life-cycle of a small video games studio seems to be to bet big on a few games then get bought up by a conglomerate, for a lot if those games were successful, for a song if those games were unsuccessful. They are often bought up to be "stripped for parts" on one level or another, including human resource parts.So while owning multiple studios is a sign that WotC and Hasbro are, were, or will be making a big move into some sort of videogame and videogame adjacent products, having six studios is less likely to mean that they have projects in the works for six different studios than it is that they are assembling their video games (and probably VTT building) division out of the carcasses of multiple failed studios they bought on the cheap. The ones they don't bother to name are presumably the ones with the least impressive resumes. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them quietly disappear and get merged with others; in fact I would expect that.</blockquote>
