If they die at least there's a chance the IP would get bought by a company that pretends to give a damn.
In all likelihood it'd be Hasbro. We've seen how they've handled D&D and MTG, making piecemeal changes here and there in a futile effort to appease clown-haired cunts. If they got full ownership of Warhammer they'd have to do a hard reboot of the whole thing.
Hasbro might buy it. Might. They're not having a good year, and they've been burned on a lot of acquisitions before. They're even pushing to integrate DnD into an always online paid subscription for goodness sakes, that's how desperate they are for revenue.
As for Magic, the less said the better. The game never recovered from the whole "whoops turns out our tournament judges are heavily staffed with felony sex criminals" thing.
