Wow, the only possibility I can imagine that is even worse than Hasbro
or they leak rumor of a tencent deal themselves.. either to try to get a wild unexpected offer from somewhere, or to disguise the fact their real intended buyer is actually worse than anything you've thought about tencent.
Sinclair Media? 😳
The source of the rumor is a youtube video speculating. The rumor is based upon nothing else.

Yeah this is a bullshit rumour. I haven't seen any credible source for it yet.
The one I saw yesterday stated that it was "dnd" and that it was offered to Larian, but they didn't have the money, so Tencent stepped in.
I imagine it's the video game rights. Even Hasbro couldn't be stupid enough to sell off the whole thing.
The fact that it's "DND" makes the rumour incredibly sus since that's not what the IP is called. It's only a colloquialism. Hasbro/WOTC always use the ampersand since it's part of the D&D branding.

Money is a powerful persuader.
Enough money and dumb-ass executives could definitely make this happen.
Might have to do with Jubensha getting so popular in China
