Reading the article, I see WotC are saying this, but nothing from Hasbro. With them being the parent company, does WotC even have a say in if DnD is sold to Tencent?

Probably not, but it likely would be up to WotC to confirm/deny.

I don't know how this even works, but wouldn't it be Hasbro's call? Can a subsidiary owned by a bigger company sell itself or would it be up to the bigger company? 🤔

@Kolanaki @eerongal The parent would decide.

I was under the impression that the whole thing has been about Tencent wanting to license the digital product rights to D&D, not the actual game. I'm not sure why that's caused an uproar over the actual IP ownership.

Because China is involved and talking heads lose their minds as soon as that happens.

China was mentioned and the downvoter poltroons lose their minds as soon as that happens as well.

I wonder if Tencent would have hired the Pinkertons to steal cards from someone
