Tencent is trying to snatch away the D&D IP from Hasbros
Larian can't do it directly so they would get their sugar daddy to get it for them
Hasbros IPs have been shitty the bed
Hasbros aren't in a good financial situation
A fat injection like Tencent buying D&D might be a good thing for them
Schizoanon was right and I kneel, Tencent run all the shots at Larian no matter what Swen says

Why do you post on Ganker when english is not your first language?
Why live when you aren't #1?
Because you're #194 in this world, pajeet. Even Africans are above your kind.
What have you achieved that justifies your continued existence?
Not shitting on the street
Not raping my grandpa
Not eating cow shit
Not buying a fake degree
I accept your concession. You may end your life now.
there is nothing wrong with anything you listed
>The Starfield Poojet was right
Damn, Changs truly lost, the facade is off
Good morning sir
China invented covid
Chinas national export is respritory sickness
1. Covid isn't real
2. China's national export is everything you own
good maybe the chinks will make them get rid of woke shit
>every time a giant corporation thats been shown to be censorship happy does anything at all:
>"maybe theyll get rid of the woke shit"
>times it actually happened:
>0
Censorship is good. They should censor the gay shit.
ok gongdrone. it should just not be in there in the first place.
Anon, are you actually so fricking moronic that you don't know china is one of the main peddlers of woke homosexualry?
They push the gay shit in OUR countries, you moronic ape. They censor the shit out of everything in China only.
chinks are the ones pushing the woke shit though. they push it to break down the society of western first world nation that are the biggest threat to their influence on the world stage.
> China is pushing woke shit to destabilize the west
Do you live in bizarro world? It's the other way around.
Inside their borders? Sure.
Outsider their borders? They push it.
youre thinking of israelites
Damn... Can't believe it's China controlling all the world's leaders...
They really are God's Chongzhen People.
No, they'll make it much more progressive for global audiences.
For the like 20 people that play it in China they'll make sure the women are covered up.
Overall the Chinese are not really into interfering, except for some things. The game can be woke, can be not woke, they dont care as long as it brings in money. The exceptions seem to be the following.
-criticism of China
-mentions of Taiwan and that whole debacle
-criticism of the ccp
-promotion of wokeness inside China/for the Chinese market
-ransom assortment of minor miscellaneous things like portraying skeletons.
The chinese are one of the groups pushing it because it weakens western civilization. Same reason they buy up residential properties and push for replacement migration.
But D&Dogshit is awful and so is pornbrains gate.
>The chinese are one of the groups pushing it because it weakens western civilization
Magaturd conspiracy theories are always comedy gold.
I'm from Australia. We have laws about chinkoids buying real estate here now because it isn't actually a conspiracy theory, just a conspiracy.
>I'm from Australia
You're not from Australia, you just live there. You are from India. Go back.
>Magaturd conspiracy theories
He's indian
This will never be your site. You have never been and never will be welcome here. Get out.
Why would they allow feminists in their own country then? The population collapse there is because they gave women power.
why does hasbro own dnd anyways? the frick?
Because they own Wizard's of the Coast.
because it was 1999. everyone had frick you money from the dotcom bubble.
They bought WotC in the late 90s early 2000s to get ahold of Magic the Gathering and the Pokemon card game.
WotC had already bought D&D during TSR's fire sale.
D&D started to suck in the late 2000s when Hasbro fully integrated WotC into the company and instead of sales getting lumped together with M:tG and Pokemon D&D was expected to compete against Transformers on its own.
Nah, D&D was on a downward slope halfway through TSR already. The ban on playtesting any products completely wrecked their quality control. Redirecting resources to a collectible dice game didn't help either. Shit was whack.
>Ban on play testing
Qrd?
Rumors that aren't true. Lorraine Williams ran the company into the ground but it has nothing to do with a no playtesting rule. I think the rumor started on Dragonsfoot or something
>but it has nothing to do with a no playtesting rule.
If it's like mtg they just don't playtest anymore because frick you.
It really is that simple. MTG imploded because they stopped playtesting and won't ban the cards that just released that weren't tested because they sell packs.
There is a rot in the company and it effects what they do as a business.
Imagine developing a game of any sort or stripe and saying you don't need to test how viable it actually is as a product and thinking everything is going to work out fine.
Company ownership went from nerds making games to a businessperson. Said person treated the company more like a book publisher than a game industry thing. Didn't see the point of testing when the same time could be spent writing more products instead. Calling it a ban is exaggerating it a bit, but focus definitely shifted to shitting out more things and caring about quality a lot less.
The east have been doing far better games than the west so I'm okay with it. This is the chinese century, america will cope seethe and dilate
Would be kinda hype for Tencent to buy WotC and purge all the trannies. I don't see it happening though.
You realize they own Riot right? They don't care about westerners pozing League so long as they can hide it from the Chinese client.
Based. Let them have it. They cannot possibly mismanage it any more than what has been happening under Hasbro.
impossible to be worse than wotc or ~~*hasbro*~~
What the frick
Strixhaven was good, but it's not worth over $20, it's stuff people come up with when they want to play harry potter in table top.
what the frick happened with wotc
Tencent and esg.
They make a game for kids, as adults. They were always going to be groomer adjacent
>judge program
Very groomer adjacent. Their policies would reflect their desire to groom minors.
>still pushing the "all judges are pedos" angle
Holy crap, Jeremy. You have really got to find some new material. And why are you still posting here, anyway? You know they're all just going to make fun of you for getting laid out by a troony at a convention.
There have been multiple investigations leading to people being let go.
It is a thing that happens anon you don't need to run cover white knighting for groomer pedophiles on Ganker.
Classic shitpost I use so you know who I am if you are from /tg/.
>headquarters is in a suburb of Seattle
What do you think?
Tencent literally legally functionally can't do shit about what Larian does.
>Tencent owns part of Epic Games
>everyone accepts that Epic is Chinese
However...
>Tencent owns part of Larian
>"no Larian isn't Chinese"
>"it's just a minority share"
>"Swen and Larian are based"
At what point does a company become Chinese-owned?
Tim owns more of Epic than Swen owns of Larian, yet Timmy is the chinese pig
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>Tim owns more of Epic than Swen owns of Larian
what? Swen and his wife together own 70% of the company compared to sweeney who holds only 51% of epic
Swen alone holds 62% himself
ching chong ding dong
>the moment he's proven wrong he cries
nothing scares the schizo more than actual truth and facts
>That one schizoanon who posts the Tencent owning Larian studios was right
Except it's the opposite
Everyone was saying Tencent's behind it but one schizo was vehemently and vocally defending it.
Awesome. Hope they remove all the gay shit trannies put in it then make a fun game.
>china
>stopping gay degen propaganda in the west
>Awesome. Hope they remove all the gay shit trannies put in it then make a fun game.
Why not put communism in it to? c**t. TCCPD
> Communist revolutionaries fight a guerrilla war against the evil empire peddling LGBT crap to demoralize their enemies and assimilate conquered nations.
It would be kino of the highest order.
Kindly reminder you'll never be a real woman
> I'd want homosexuals and trannies and work myself into an early grave for multi-billionaires to own the commies!
T. clapistani immigrant
Are Hasbro and WotC even gonna be around in the 2030s? There was a huge layoff at Hasbro not long ago.
They aren't buying it, just some rights for distribution
There is literally nothing with wuth chinese owned do you worship blacks or something?
trying to =/= own. Make a thread when it happens schizo. You're reaching.
>6 months BG3 shills have been claiming the game has nothing to do with tencent
now
>w-well tencent might not buy dungeons and dragons!
Will they add large breasts? I'm not interested, otherwise.
God I hope they do buy it, actually just buy the entierty of wizards of the coast
Larian could just make another Divinity title and forego the licensing fees entirely?.
holy based
CHINESE CENTURY
no more black aragorn and gay sex every five minutes
just pure ludokino
I hope they do this not because I think Tencent would do anything to make D&D any better, but because I hope they make D&D more unpalatable to anyone but the most normalgay of normalgays and all the even remotely nerdy gays start diversifying and trying new systems and settings again.
Frick D&D.
Well, the need to sell to someone. D&D is at deaths door. And Hasbro got fricked by Disney due to all those shitty star wars toys. Selling wizards to Tencent doesn't sound like a half bad idea.
I'll personally chill for the CPP if they revitalize 3.5e as a sort of legacy ruleset.
They don't even need to release new books, just fix all the mess and inconsistencies, and maybe rewrite ToB from the ground up. That book is such a fricking mess.
Imagine they buy the neverwinter nights brand back and release neverwinter nights 3.
Frick.
They might do it. Pretty sure I heard they want to stop releasing the physical books and move entirely to online. Like a subscription service, but for rulesets instead of product.
Look how fast Baldur's Gape threads have vanished the moment the bot campaign stopped.
Bots shill Palworld. BG3 still gets gameplay threads and still has an active playerbase
>BG3 still gets gameplay threads
It does
>It does
This makes sense why BG3 sold so much now.
Perhaps we can see more chinesechads.
How is D&D even an own able property? Isn't it just some guidelines on how to set up a make believe game session?
Modern D&D fan boys have absolute meltdowns if you don't use everything "official" released. So no print outs, you must own the actual books to play in their groups. You must use their online service. All of that. Basically if you play anything after 3.5 or participate in that modern tale of the game you're an absolute D&D poser homosexual. Also, Matt Mercer was the worst thing to ever happen to the game. The Mercer effect is real and it has spawned a generation of narcissistic DM's.
Wow, sounds gay as frick. I will admit i haven't played a round of D&D with friends since maybe 2005 and we just used some advanced D&D books from the 80s i found in a thrift store me and my friends learned the basic mechanics of, some online references and altered rules to fit our tastes. I dont think i ever even played the "official" campaigns, it was also bizarre fantasy nonsense plots we would come up with.
How is tencent trying to get DND proof that larian is owned by tencent. What is the logic here?
>542 KB
>That one schizoanon who posts the Tencent owning Larian studios was right
Why do you talk about yourself in the third person? We all know it's (You).
>schizo self admits he's a schizo
lmao
If Tencent buys MLP from Hasbro and makes an open world horse game, I am going to kiss Xi's ass.
>praises schizo
>talks in schizo
hmmm
https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/dungeons-dragons-tencent-report-purchase/
lmao cant admit that Schizo anon was right. The article even says that Hasbro approached Larian asking them to buy D&D after the success of BG3 but since they didnt have enough money, they asked tencent to help buy it for them.
Trying to retroactive prove right only proves wrong. Glad I'm not a moron schizo
It's probably one of the most mismanaged IP's of all time. Literally anyone could do a better job. I wouldn't be surprised if they want Larian to go hard on D&D games after BG3.
>Hasbros IPs have been shitty the bed
At least they don't shit on the street
Maybe the chinks will revert some of the most moronic decisions like removing half races for being racist or making drow misunderstood dindu nuffin feminist elves.
Why the frick isn't there a real DND video game? Why is it that spin offs of DND like fricking Todd Howard's autism campaign and Balder's Gate get these major video games, but nothing from Hasbro/DND itself? If Tencent buys it, I hope at least they invest in an actual DND open world RPG.
christ i fricking hope so
Anyone have a pic of both Lariantrannies & Starspics hanging for a noose?
I had no idea that Hasbro was this broke
Wasn't Larian turned down years ago when they wanted to do a DnD game?
Hilarious that they almost ended up owning the IP
hasbro is fine, they took a huge hit with star wars being a woke pile of shit. They're selling anything that's worthless and dnd is one of those things (because it's also woke)
I thought critical role got d&d back in the mainstream? How is it already worthless again?
that's a meme
woke homosexuals latched on which sunk the IP again and drove normal people away.
Hasbro isn't broke specifically because of DnD and MtG. All of their other brands are in varying stages of floundering, but just those two are keeping them afloat.
Guess who owns Larian
>That one schizoanon who posts the Tencent owning Larian studios was right
did anyone besides tencent farquaads think he was wrong?
>Tencent aquires Hasbro
>Open world Equestria RPG
>Tabletop DND video game
Name a single thing wrong with this
Tencent is chinese.
The one good thing that I know would come out of this is that they will purge a ton of the workforce, forcing people to do work with a very barebone team, leading to a lot of them leaving because of exhaustion and withering the company until it dies.
You can't even show skeletons and ghosts in China how the frick are they gonna navigate D&D with it's...skeletons and ghosts and warlocks and shit?
Same way Indians eat beef even though it's banned there and you get lynched if you're caught
Simple, remove them or add random enemies in their place.
Yeah man let's remove skeletons and undead with any bone showing, wraiths, ghouls, spectres, anything that summons any sort of evil familiar, any spell with reference to "death" or "kill". That'll revive the IP
That's one of those things that's technically a law, but the enforcement is selective. Basically as long as a company doesn't do anything to piss off the communist party, they can use all the skellingtons and spookingtons they want. The moment they do something to displease the pooh bear fan club, the company is killed and the undead used as an excuse. If there's no bones or ghosts to blame, the party will just point to some other technicality or made up excuse.
Tencent owning 30% of Larian has killed Larians image in about a year's time.
Where? In your cow dung induced hallucinations, pajeet?
Everywhere. Larian just had to publicly turn down an advantageous IP purchase and articles are being written about how they had to go to Tencent to offer it to them instead.
It is like a ritual humiliation.
Being chinese.
>It is like a ritual humiliation.
The only ritual humiliation is the one Indians go through every day when they realize they're Indian and not human.
And the one Larian just had to go thru that articles are being written about.
Imagine selling 30% of yours and your wife's business to chinamen just so you can be their eunuch delivering missives from foreign dignitaries.
People posting about pajeets are always changs. They share a border they are like the mexicans to americans. It's always a chang complaining about his neighbor.
>They share a border they are like the mexicans to americans.
Mexicans > Indians
Africans > Indians
Pakis > Indians
Agreed but the point still stands that only changs are obsessed like this since they are all on /misc/ being wumaos for the cccp and can't turn it off.
This is a video game board none of their racism actually matters here. But they can't turn it off because they've been programmed like a machine.
It's all they have as an insult, to them the only thing they can use as an insult is nationality. It is a massive, generational cope.
>Agreed
Glad you agree, pajeet
>This is a video game board none of their racism actually matters here
Nah it matters, pajeet
>china is so unsavory Ganker had to update itself to not allow image posting from incognito mode and put a cooldown on thread creation
Happened because of BG3 and Palworld. You people are uncivilized to a degree that isn't conducive with western thinking.
I'm Laotian.
Oh no not Tencent. They did so many horrible things to game studios such as.... giving them some money and um...
>giving them some money and um...
And mindraping every filthy street shitting pajeet
Hasbro is going to kill WoTC before Tencent can buy it. The old guard who are still stuck on making plastic toys people are starting to not buy anymore are just leeching off any successful branch Hasbro bought.
they don't own a controlling share of the company
I call it Schrödinger's ethnicity, where Ganker will both accuse you of being a chang or a pajeet in the same thread depending on which company you do not support.
So on one hand it's dealing with Black folk,gays and trannies, and the other is communism, with each year that passes, I just slowly side with winnie the pooh, cause jesus chrst it makes it so hard to try and defend america with their moronation.
At one point I said "or China already won" and all the geezers in the room ignored me. They've already won and the ESG bullshit is just one example of how they're forcing the slide while keeping the population complacent and believing it's of their own accord instead of an actual hostile takeover from the top down.
Larian is a dogshit company. Cumguzzlers Gate 3 is a terrible game that should have had an AO rating.
India is a cowshit country
Oh it is but that doesn't change the statement about baldurs gay 3.
It and its worthless people definitely are. Doesnt spare Pornbrains Gate 3 or homosexuals like you that defend troony games like it. have a nice day.
Schizo hours.
Tencent only has insulting pajeets when backed into a corner.
It is an obsession with them, this is 5th gen warfare to wumaos it isn't about marketing or anything like that it is about nations fighting using media, to them.
They are NGMI as a culture as a result.
They are a doomed people being replaced by africans in their homeland.
>Begging bugmen to save you
pathetic
Found the actual article, it's clickbait dogshit. According to every other site they're looking to buy (probably non-exclusive) rights to make video game adaptations from D&D, presumably because of BG3's success. Article OP posted also has this hilarious line:
>According to the report, Hasbro was initially in contact with Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios about buying the rights to the IP, with Larian reportedly lacking funds for the purchase.
Which just makes no fricking sense at all if you think about it for 5 seconds and makes me think the whole thing is written by AI.
tl;dr OP is a massive wienersucking homosexual who guzzles cum every day.
>everyone ITT acting like tencvent owns larian
>swen and his wife together hold 70% of the fricking company while tencent is only 30%

this whole news doesn't make this not a fact.
