Rumours, speculation and hearsay? "Interesting" at least.

Not every big conglomerate is just a relentless fuckup machine

Do you have any examples?

I mean, just a quick glance at this list shows some things that seem at least competently managed. 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.

Most of those are just minority investments rather than directly ran by Tencent

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.
