D&D will not be scrapped. While it's cetiarnly not doing as well as the good folks at Hasbro would like it to do in it's most current iteration, it's still the best-known name in role-playing games today. To shut it down would be one of the most catastrophic business mistakes in hobby games industry history. And it's an industry basically categorized by its incredible mistakes.If Hasbro doesn't want it anymore, which is cetiarnly a possibility, they will likely sell the intellectual property to someone else. And someone else will buy it, for basically any asking price, just to be able to print under the Dungeons & Dragons name. Because while the name may not be making Monopoly money, it makes Oprah-money compared to the vast majority of role-playing game properties.
