The biggest diference between the two companies in my eyes is the direction they have taken the games.Paizo decided to stick with the roleplaying....focusing on adventureshttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26187525/2012:_Paizo_buys_DD_from_WotC,_Releases_5e?post_id=521866519#521866519I think pathfinder and e4 ar both good games and I enjoy playing both of them.

I think WotC understood that a liscenced game like Pokemon wasn't going to be a commodity they could rely on forever. Hasbro had been making offers to them for yearhttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26187525/2012:_Paizo_buys_DD_from_WotC,_Releases_5e?post_id=521806891#521806891At the time of sale, they were making buttloads of money more from Pokemon than M:TG.

They seemed to be making boatloads of money off of Magic:the Gathering.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26187525/2012:_Paizo_buys_DD_from_WotC,_Releases_5e?post_id=521781829#521781829I was never quite sure why WotC sold out to Hasbro.

Honestly wotc chose to **** over their players with giving up on 3.5. I think it is hilarioushttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26187525/2012:_Paizo_buys_DD_from_WotC,_Releases_5e?post_id=521719087#521719087anyway shape or form? turn undead and grapple.I still love d&d, I won't move on to pathfinder, but you are clearly wrong about it no doing anything to d&d.

I don't thinks Hasbro will sell because 1) D&D is taking in profit, and even if it's minsicule, it's still somthing, and 2) the crossovers between M:tg and D&D (designers and stuff, not actual material) arehttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26187525/2012:_Paizo_buys_DD_from_WotC,_Releases_5e?post_id=514455019#514455019Bravo for carrying through on your promise.
