There has been a lot of rumor and innuendo about the corporate culture at WotC and how D&D is the red-headed stepchild to Magic the Gathering. Nobody knows what to do with it and the only way executives seem to want to make money off of it is in the form of digitization and licensing.
Let's say, hypothetically, Hasbro decides to license the tabletop game to a company. They will no longer be in the RPG business. Which company would you want to see take over D&D?
