Let’s not use disabilities as insults, please.
I wasn’t intending to, but alright. Have a fun day.

WoTC might not sell its DND IP but Hasbro could easily sell the entirety of WoTC to Tencent if they wanted to.
Isn’t MTG quite profitable? I don’t think they will sell all of wotc.
Their track record of telling the truth doesn’t help their case.
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
When I see “not looking to” in this context it just tells me Tencent hasn’t offer enough money at this time.
Yeah, that’s a shame. Hasbro/WotC isn’t the best of companies.
It could always be worse - as a potential sale to Tencent highlights…
never, not for a second, did I think this could happen.
7/10 troll though
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.
I thought it was Hasbro looking to sell?
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.
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”
That just means they have talked.
