They're not a relentless crew of counterproductive own-dick-trippers-over like Hasbro. That said, the point that they may turn it into a microtransactions bonanza that makes them money but in no way resembles what DND should be is a pretty good one, yes. I was envisioning this future where they realize that the way to make money with it long-term is to just let it be its own thing, but I think there's a pretty good chance that that idea is as absurd as everyone here seems to think it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Most of those are just minority investments rather than directly ran by Tencent permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev -3 points 2 years ago Hm, you are right. The story described it as "owns and has huge holdings," but that is wrong -- for Blizzard it's 10%, Bluehole 5%, etc. permalink fedilink source parent
