    They have over 450 employees and operate in six different countries. I don’t know what DnD would be worth but it’s not like Larian is small.

    Logically I think it makes more sense for Larian to want to buy the video game rights specifically as anything beyond that would be outside their scope.

      Imagine how much staff works for Hasbro or Tencent, because that’s the league we are playing in here - after a quick Google, Hasbro has 6480, Tencent has 108,436. Larian is a dust mite to Tencent and DND has been around for half a century, had a film based on it recently, just had a game of the year based on it and a two decade old dnd IP. DND made $100-150 million in 2022.
