D&D (or WotC) Heading for the Auction Block?

By now, everyone's heard that WotC didn't renew Paizo's license for Dragon or Dungeon magazines. Now, we find out that the Dragonlance license isn't being renewed. Coincidence? Quite possibly, but who knows?

My theory (which is just as half-baked and lacking in evidence as any other floating around the 'Net) is that WotC is consolidating its D&D assets to sell off the property. Or Hasbro is preparing to sell off WotC.

The September issues of Dragon and Dungeon (out in August) will be the last. The Dragonlance movie is supposed to come out in September (according to IMDB). If successful, it could prove a boon to the property.

Is this a good thing? Given the hate so many fans have for Hasbro, it could be. It's certainly better than the alternative - 4th Edition released early and the d20 license killed.

Anyway, just a thought...the only people who know what's going on aren't telling.
