Reading the article, I see WotC are saying this, but nothing from Hasbro. With them being the parent company, does WotC even have a say in if DnD is sold to Tencent?

Probably not, but it likely would be up to WotC to confirm/deny.
I don't know how this even works, but wouldn't it be Hasbro's call? Can a subsidiary owned by a bigger company sell itself or would it be up to the bigger company? 🤔
I wonder if Tencent would have hired the Pinkertons to steal cards from someone
I was under the impression that the whole thing has been about Tencent wanting to license the digital product rights to D&D, not the actual game. I'm not sure why that's caused an uproar over the actual IP ownership.
