Rumours about Hasbro selling WotC are rife throughout the Internet.
It related to the lawsuits WotC is being hit with mostly.
I personally think the lawsuits are related more to WotC wanting to internalize more of the business, like miniatures, but I can think of only one company that makes sense if WotC does end up for sale.
Games Work Shop, Paizo, Kobold Press, Green Ronin, ect..., none of them have the capital to buy WotC so they can safely be ignored in this conversion.
Paradox Entertainment could afford it, if, barely, but they are busy with the nightmare the World of Darkness has turned into for them.
No the only company that I could see buying WotC is Amazon. Amazon has the money to pay top dollar for WotC, the will to do so, they can milk the IPs WotC holds to the max, Amazon makes movies, books, video games, tv shows, comic books, toys, and tons of other stuff, has to own retail machine in amazon.com/.ca/.uk, ect..., they can use every part of the buffalo (WotC being the Buffalo).
And unlike other companies Amazon isn't hemeraging money, it made a killing, and, WotC is exactly the kind of Aquistion Amazon would be willing to over pay for to further broader 4 dimensional chess goals, like getting a virtual monopoly in the RPG market while milking the IPs in every way imaginable, in ways Hasbro never dreamed of. Amazon has it's economic dick in the pussy of nearly every industry imaginable. Jeff Bezos is going to be the first Trillionaire. If he wants WotC he will have WotC.
