    It’s good that they’re not selling to Tencent. But it’s a shame they’re not selling.

      ‘To be clear: We are not looking to sell our D&D IP’

      It sounds like they’re not selling at all

      Hasbro owns wotc, wotc owns dnd. Hasbro can’t sell dnd, they would need to sell wotc and that’s not a good move because MTG is a money making machine afaik. If anything Hasbro could order wotc to sell dnd, but it would be wotc selling it.

        Whether you take the stick out of your dog’s mouth or you tell the dog to give it to you, you’re the taking the stick. Breaking up and selling off IP is exceedingly commonplace.

        We’ve already established they are whores, Tencent has simply been unsuccessful, so far, in negotiating their price.

          Cool. I was explaining that hasbro and wotc are the same thing for this matter. They were apparently confused. Idk why you are making this point when I was clarifying them their confusion.

    I’m unironically disappointed. I’d take any new direction at the moment, I’ve already been pushed past the point where it wouldn’t make a meaningful difference to me if it got worse. Even a change with a low chance of getting better is worth it over a guarantee of remaining shit.

    6 months from now: “We didn’t sell it, we granted them a non revocable permanent license to be the exclusive producers of D&D content, but we still receive a royalty fee and have no control over it”
