Wizards of the Coast confirms it is not selling the d&d IP to tencent
Wizards of the Coast dispels rumours that Tencent wants to gobble up D&D like a tarrasque: 'To be clear: We are not looking to sell our D&D IP'
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.
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.
never, not for a second, did I think this could happen.
7/10 troll though
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.
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.
