northendtrooper, do gaming w Wizards of the Coast confirms it is not selling the d&d IP to tencent

Their track record of telling the truth doesn’t help their case.

0xtero, do gaming w Wizards of the Coast confirms it is not selling the d&d IP to tencent

It’s good that they’re not selling to Tencent. But it’s a shame they’re not selling.

Midnitte,

‘To be clear: We are not looking to sell our D&D IP’

It sounds like they’re not selling at all

0xtero,

Yeah, that’s a shame. Hasbro/WotC isn’t the best of companies.

Midnitte,

It could always be worse - as a potential sale to Tencent highlights…

ursakhiin,

When I see “not looking to” in this context it just tells me Tencent hasn’t offer enough money at this time.

I thought it was Hasbro looking to sell?

fushuan,

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.

Overzeetop,

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.

fushuan,

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.

That just means they have talked.

never, not for a second, did I think this could happen.

7/10 troll though

Moira_Mayhem,

WoTC might not sell its DND IP but Hasbro could easily sell the entirety of WoTC to Tencent if they wanted to.

fushuan,

Isn’t MTG quite profitable? I don’t think they will sell all of wotc.

    I'll admit I'm not super knowledgeable on the space outside of the Deck, but it really feels like most of these things are pushing power without any consideration to usability. You're a PC, you need convenient methods of handling PC input and plenty of input options to handle the number of inputs. Without that or a handheld-friendly mode in Windows, you're probably dead in the water. Props where they're due to the Legion Go on that front for trying something new with its joycon mouse.

    Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Spec Ops: The Line's sudden removal from Steam baffles its director: 'Why has this happened?'

    An issue with the soundtrack is the only thing that makes sense, but unfortunately I don't know if 2K would be willing to spend the money to renew the license and keep the game on Steam. At least it's still for sale on GOG, like the article mentions, and it's eighty percent off.

    Zahille7,

    Thank you

    Computerchairgeneral,

    No problem. Unfortunately, looks like GOG had to delist it as well. Seems the only way to play it now is through a physical copy and Xbox backwards compatibility.

    Super weird. That game is great, just play it on easy and enjoy the ride.

    I hope they figure it out and potentially get it reinstated. It would be a shame for such a good game to be lost to so many people

    So its garbage in terms of price/performance ratio then?

    @thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

    I don't know what you mean. It even has a screen. Not an OLED, but at that price point we can't nitpick, right? The only thing I really like on this device are the builtin Hall effect thumbsticks.

    Gordon_Freeman, do gaming w US Supreme Court has had enough of Epic vs. Apple, refuses to hear appeals, Tim Sweeney says the fight to open-up iOS 'is lost… a sad outcome for all developers'
    @Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

    If it's so sad, developers could, you know, stop developing for iOS

    Shambles,

    Agreed, and I would add that anyone who thinks that Epic has developers best interests in mind and not their own pocketbook is delusional.

    @wagesj45@kbin.social avatar

    Unfortunately it inevitable. If a publicly traded company exists, it will have to extract more and more and more until this kind of rent-seeking model happens. And if a company is private, it will eventually go public. And even if you truly believe in a company's owner to not sell out, eventually they will die and the company will go public or get sold. Eventually, money always wins.

    Epic can suck a fat cock. So can apple but at least I can choose not to buy their stuff. Epic just buys games and now I have to drop it because fuck epic or continue playing a game they’re activly destroying.
