I think that none of us can expet good products if such a deal is
sealed.
We saw what happened with TSR when WOC bought it.
We saw what happened with Avalon Hill (ok it was almost ruined but the
games were still good) when Hasbro got it.
They will have a treasure in their hands that they won't have a clue how
to deal with it.
And they will translate everything in money.
I just hope that something like this will never happen with other RPG
companies like FASA, White Wolf and ICE.
